Philly

Here we are in Philadelphia visiting Aunt M (or as Rosie says, "Mamadon") and Uncle D. We started the day with breakfast just 2 blocks from the apartment where the people were super nice, and Rosie managed to score a free Mickey Mouse pancake.
Fueled up with coffee and food, we walked to UPenn campus, making a pit stop at a park:






Rosie was having a hard time (woke up too early?) and struggled with the stroller but finally gave in and fell asleep en route. We first stopped by the bookstore. It was there that we decides we'd collect something from every college campus Rosie visits to start her college wall.
Next we met up with Uncle D for lunch. But first, we sculpture-hopped a little:








It started to heat up after lunch so after the walk back to the apartment Rosie took her second nap while we hung out in the patio.
Then we headed to Reading Terminal, a really cool marketplace where there was a nice mix of grocer and prepared foods. We got fixings for a tasty dinner: salmon, salad, bread, cheese, peaches and strawberries for a crumble dessert. When we got home Rosie got in some really good play time. It was very sweet seeing her giggle and horse around with M and D.



While the kitchen was buzzing with activity, Rosie was engrossed in play-cooking. All it took was a few mixing bowls and a spoon and she was mixin up a delicious storm. She would mixed the bowl then let us taste her creations. It is such a cool thing to see her pretend play.
Best way to end the day: super tasty meal outside, time to catch up with good friends, and a rainbow!
