Christmas Tree Cutting

Grandma and Grandpa came with us to cut
the perfect Christmas tree at this cool farm
in Collegeville, PA

They put you on a tractor that is actually
pulled by real horses! I loved it! It was REALLY
cold, tho!

Here we are hunting for that perfect tree!

How's this one, Grandmom?

More Christmas Tree shopping

Grandpa found a good one!
Can you see those white spots on the picture
Yeah - it started to snow while we were out there ~
the perfect tree hunting weather!!



I helped Mommy drag the tree back to the tractor!



The guys - after a great job cutting down the
perfect Christmas tree!

Here we are waiting for the horse-drawn tractor to
come back to pick us up

Grandmom got me this cool train track - I
already know how to put it together myself!

Daddy had to look at the "plan" to put it together

Aunt Ryann got lost in a good book!

I don't know, Dad, I think my way worked better!

THE WORLD CHAMPION PHILLIES

Just in case you've been living in a cave and missed this - OUR Philadelphia Phillies
are now the 2008 World Series Champions! This has not happened since
my daddy was two years old - just like me!
My daddy was at the final game - he even got to be in the mayor's box for the second
half of the big game!
I sure hope I don't have to wait 28 years to see this happen again.
Needless to say my daddy is still on cloud nine! On Halloween they
had a gigantic parade down Broad Street right in front of my
daddy's office building - he was in his glory!!

Fall 2008

I took my first real train ride - we went to visit Uncle Chris

to the farm to get our pumpkins

Me and Mommy at Linvilla Orchards

Halloween 2008

We had a Halloween parade at my school.
Grandmom and Mommy came to watch!

One of my classmates dressed up like a french fry!

I was Frankenstein!

They woke me up from my nap - I wasn't too happy
just yet!

This was only my second lollipop ever - it sure was good!

Forget about it - you may be cute, but I'm not sharing!

How come you guys never gave me one of these before?

Grandmom said I was really workin' it!

The NEW Please Touch Museum

The new Please Touch Museum opened this month and it is fantastic.
They renovated a previously unused building - a left over from the 1876 Centennial celebration!
Here I am in the atrium waiting for Daddy to get our tickets.

I'm getting impatient - I can't wait to get playing!

At the original centennial - the arm and torch from the
Statue of Liberty was displayed. They have now
recreated the torch out of toy items!

This room is one of my favorites - it is just to the right of the atrium -
the only bad thing is that the water is kinda cold!
Don't worry, Mom, Grandmom dried me off with the hand dryers!

This is a huge room turned into a giant water playground!

AFTER I got pretty wet, Grandmom and Daddy decided
I needed a smock. I love playing in the water!

This slide is super slippery and tons of fun!

I made lunch for Grandmom and Daddy in Alice in Wonderland's
rabbit hole!
