More Family Visits

Alex's mom and sisters, Shannon and Sydney, came to visit this past week. It was Shannon and Sydney's first time on a plane, and we're so glad they were able to come out. They kept busy and had a lot of fun - Center City Philly, Valley Forge, Longwood Gardens, Ocean City (aka "the Shore" - for those of you who don't know, out here on the East coast you don't call it the beach, you call it the shore). The girls were able to go to New York for a couple of days with their sister Beth who has been staying with us for the summer. While they were gone, Alex's mom and I went antiquing through Bucks County. And Alex was able to take a day off of work for the last day his mom was in town so we went out to Lancaster County (Amish Country) and Gettysburg. Here are some pics from the sights!

Longwood Gardens - aren't those water lily pads amazing? I've never seen such a thing!

Looks like you guys had so much fun and really kept busy! We need to get together again... I just can't believe that after our girls were born I swear they looked like twins at birth, and now how different (but darling!) they are!
