Philadelphia Phillies

Nate planned a surprise birthday trip to Philly to catch a game  for my birthday.  He invited Tristan and Dorcas along.  Then he told me about it the next day.  Well maybe not the next day...

The guys reading the map. Not sure that it helped at all!  We left our ride parked at the motel and took public transportation. 

Here I am missing pictures of the Yummy cheesesteaks at Tony Lukes.  While we sat there eating before the game, it started to rain.  A lot of rain.  I was picturing the van in the parking garage. Would have been nice.

So after lots of walking we made it to the game.  Blue skies.

Dorcas had her sideline entertainment along. The food vendors on foot (what do you call them?) were teasing her for it.

We were staying at the Radisson (love that priceline) and it was rather humbling to come sloshing through the lobby late Saturday night.  We got totally soaked on the way home. 

One ball game we will never forget. Thanks Nate for planning it.  Loved it.  And thanks to Tristan and Dorcas for going along.  Good times.

Happy Birthday Sweet Elizabeth!
She's two but she will tell you that she is three.
She tries new words everyday.
We laugh at her often.
She cries every time I hold another child. She is in for a rude awakening with number three on the way.
Her dimples come from her father and his side of the family.
I still think I see my Dad in her.
Oh, she loves to eat. She eats a lot!
Big time thumb sucker. Right or left thumb is fine.
Can be found jumping at any hour of the day.
Happy Birthday Lizzy! We love you to pieces.

Fun day at the Philadelphia Zoo with Nate's family. I love me a good black and white photo. Kind of hard to come by when you love color as much as I do. In other words, I'm happy when I get a shot that works for me in black and white.
