Just before Christmas we decided to take a Saturday and do a bunch of Christmassy stuff in the city. It was wonderful!
We started the day off here, at Federal Donuts. If any Philly friends read this, I'd recommend going there! It was delicious.
Then we went to the Macy's downtown where they have the Wanamaker organ. We saw their big light show, went through their Dickens Village, and saw Santa. Afterward, we walked over to the Christmas Village in Love park. Here are the kids playing on the giant game pieces near city hall.
We had lunch and then took the kids ice skating at the river rink. It's an outdoor rink that overlooks the Delaware River and the Ben Franklin Bridge. This was our second time ice skating there, and the kids were hilarious. Amelia liked to cling to the wall and make her way slowly around, but by the end she could let got for a second or two. Colin was slipping all over the place, but loved to have Mike drag him around. Jack wore "double blades" that should help a toddler be more stable, but they didn't have that effect, so Mike dragged him around, too. We had a great time!
