Sarah and Ryan's Visit!

Two weeks ago Sarah and Ryan and their kids came to Philadelphia for some interviews at a public health clinic for Ryan. We had a spectacular long weekend with them, and we wish they could stay forever! Here are some highlights from their trip.

Checking out Penn in winter. Still lovely! This visit was followed by some amazing hot chocolate.
Ryan and the kids running in the grass, chasing squirrels, and checking out a large tree.
We went to see the Liberty Bell, of course, and while we were there Evie took a little spill. The exceptionally cautious park ranger rushed over, made a scene, and pushed an ice pack on her. Evie thought it was awesome. She happily posed for this photo!
Here are the kids in Chinatown before we stuffed ourselves eating dim sum. We made quite a scene at the Chinese restaurant. Many female waiters crowed around our table, staring, touching Max and Amelia's hair, and asking the kids questions that they couldn't understand because of the accent. It was hilarious! Sadly, we were full before the jellyfish cart came around. Next time, guys!
We also went to see a children's performance of the River North Chicago Dance Company. Amelia, Sarah, and I loved it. Colin and Max had a little trouble paying attention. To be fair, I think we should hit a Phillies game next time.

That looks like so much fun! I am jealous! Hopefully we will get to see you when you come to AZ next time! Miss you!

I agree with Alexis. It looks like you had a great time together. I would love to see Philadelphia and eat dim sum. Maybe someday.....
