Emily came to visit this week! She had planned to stay just one night, but we talked her into staying a little longer :) We had a great time and hopefully next time Frank can come too!
It turns out our favorite restaurant, Parc, is gluten free! So of course we had to take Emily to eat some amazing French food! I would eat there everyday if I could, but we would go broke in a week.
Emily's first time at Parc!!
While I was at Hahnemann, Emily and Alex went to multiple museums, the Philadelphia Library, different stores downtown, and to Kelly Drive for some biking. They did more in a day than I do in a month.
Alex and Emily at the Rodin Museum!
On Saturday, we went to the zoo!! This has been number one on my list of things to do and it was awesome! Did you know the Philadelphia Zoo was America's first zoo?
So happy to be at the zoo! They had 3D displays throughout the park, hence the 3D glasses.
We were blinded by the light.
These lemurs curled their tails together while they were napping. So cute!!!
They had these tunnels throughout the park for the monkeys to leave their enclosures and explore. It was so neat! There was a similar tunnel for the big cats.
Pretty green snake :)
This tortoise was humongous!! The picture does not do justice to his size. He was also a pigger.
Snapper turtle trying to snap us.
It was pretty hot outside for the beginning of fall. This gorilla was taking a nap on the air conditioner!
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas :)
Zoo kids
We got to walk through the bird house openly with the birds! This guy was walking around searching for raspberries.
Pretty giraffe picture for mommy.
Look at his funny maneuver for bending over!
He was waiting for a small child to fall in.
When we were in Germany, we learned to call these guys ice bears.
