First Round of FAMILY!

Barrett's sister's family and his brother were in New York then made their way down to Philly. We met up with them Saturday. We had a great time! We picked them up at their hotel and got rock star metered parking right by the Liberty Bell...a couple hours for only 6 bucks!! Awesome. We walked around and saw the sights. Tons of Asians took pictures of little California beach baby Cailin and a group even picked Tommy up and took pictures with him...super funny! Poor Damon's shoes got wet and muddy camping, so he only had old ghetto pretend crocs to wear which ended up giving him blisters. He sat in the stroller until it broke:( We saw the Ben Franklin museum, Elfreth's Alley, and saw Ben's grave. We ate sandwiches and Philly Cheese steaks at Campos and enjoyed the sunshine!





We drove over to the Art Museum to see the steps and Rocky Statue. We happened upon another rock star parking spot!! We ended up hanging out in the shade at the top of the museum steps for quite a while. It was pretty fun.







We dropped everyone off at the airport to get rental cars then made our way to our house. We had honey lime chicken enchiladas then went out for Rita's. Delicious. Everyone was pretty beat that night. Quinn went to sleep before both my boys!
The next day Cailin got to stay with us. We loved her to pieces! Tommy loved taking her "binky" out of her mouth and putting it back in. He kept saying she was a "tootie pie" (cutie pie). Damon followed her around (while Quinn's iPod was charging) and adored her. She is the cutest thing...we all fell in love. We had a delicious dinner with everyone then Barrett took everyone over to his office and other downtown historical sites while I put over-tired Tommy to bed. We ate strawberry shortcake and hung out. The boys loved playing games on Quinn's iPod all weekend. Damon even had a monster tantrum over it...pretty sure Grandma has never seen him like that before. Everyone left Monday around noon and we were sad to seem them go. We love family!
