A Peaceful Saturday at The Philadelphia Zoo

Flying Foam Bricks Are Fun To Watch!

This past Sunday, Mick and I went to the new Please Touch Museum with Natanel and his mommy. It was jam packed and amazing! Mick loved it! We didn't get a chance to cover the whole place because of the dump truck. Here's a video of Mick in the dump truck. This is when things got out of hand a little as the kids were having a foam brick play fight. The kids in the dump part of the truck were throwing them over into the front and the kids in the front were throwing them back. Mick, in the safest spot under cover in the front, just stood there and took it all in. Kids were climbing all over the place and Mick just stood there. See for yourself...OH, one last comment...it got really out of hand when the foam bricks became wood blocks. The staff stepped in there, but not before this mama got pelted with one! That's how the video ends...you can hear me yelp a little!

Halloween 2008

We got good use out of 2 "used" costumes this year! Elijah's Tigger costume for Boo at the Zoo and then Celia's 101 Dalmation costume for Halloween day. Mick picked up on the whole trick-or-treating thing right away. His endurance impressed both his papa and I. Little puppy did take a break in a pile of leaves and at the Dunkin Donuts as you can see from these pics.

Time to catch up in Blogville. Apparantly other things happened in the past few weeks that didn't involve the Phillies. heh. ;) Here are some photos from what else has been going on!
My friend Michelle, and her family, hosted a pumpkin pickin' hayride party. It was very excellent! Mick had his first hayride, his first pony ride and his first candy apple!

Mick loves tractors and pumpkins. He points to them and shouts every time we see one (and you know how many pumpkins there are around these days!!).

On 10/25 we went to "Boo at the (Philadelphia) Zoo" with Ellis, Dov and their parents. :) Last year we went by accident...er...we didn't know it was Boo at the Zoo and were not dressed up. This year the kids were prepared! Mick wore Elijah's old Tigger costume (looked like new) and he didn't seem to notice that he was wearing something out of the ordinary (except he didn't want his hood up...ever).

Here's the Mickster next to a rabbit. He willingly pet the bunny and then sat down beside it; however, I think his expression says it all. heh heh.

Here's Officer Dov!

Harry Potter (aka Ellis) and Tigger seemed to bond that day. It was rainy and a bit chilly, but that didn't stop these guys from playing!

The next day we hung out with Uncle Jordan. We didn't get any good pics of him and Mick. Hopefully Abuela did and we'll post a pic here where we can. It was a rare Sunday in October where Mick wore his Eagles shirt during the day and then we changed him into a Phillies shirt for the night. And so it goes that I begin and end this post with a comment about the Phillies! Fact is....I can't stop smiling! How 'bout dem Phils?!?!!!!!!! :)
