Philadelphia PA

Philadelphia, the city of Brotherly love, brought these brothers and sisters together again.

This is my favorite photo that day. (note the line in the background to see the Liberty Bell.)
Here are my children from left to right.
David "Harry" Harrison, Allison Cutler Kelly, Rachel "Liberty Bell", and Daniel, aka Elder Cutler!

Among other things, Danny, while skateboarding into a bank somehow managed to bend my new Ipod almost in half! (remember I got it for a present, hadn't used it yet, so he borrowed it) How you bend a little solid thing like that I don't understand. It was in his back pocket if that explains anything?(a hard bottom?) His luck holds true.




We walked where George Washington and Benjamin Franklin did (He fascinates me). We visited Federal hall, where the nation was conceived, Betsy Ross' house, a Quaker church, and, as touted, a "real Quaker".

Maybe we as Mormons ought to try that approach, "Visit a Mormon church with a real Mormon inside!" The sign could also boast something about 1st Amendment rights used right here!

The very first thing my children did was find an old abandoned building near our Hotel. Danny found it with David in tow and came to get the girls. Immediately after Breakfast they went to explore it. (Some things never change!) Allison, true to long time tradition, while trapsing around upstairs broke through a floor board with one leg. Thankfully, she wasn't hurt badly, so no trip to the hospital this time. (I have lost track of the times with that child.) Ian, downstairs, was certainly startled, when a leg came crashing through the ceiling right by his head.

Oh, and in the Best Cheesesteak battle--we vote-- uhmm-- Pat's!
