Everyone loves the Circus!

Believe it or not, we have never taken Kelsey and nick to the Circus. When we saw that Ringling Bros was coming to Philadelphia we couldn't resist. We all had a great time. It is amazing what these performers (animals & people) are capable of doing.

Ice Skating




Nick has been begging me to take him skating. While he enjoyed it he is in no hurry to return...too many falls I guess. Kelsey also went with us but I was unable to get any pics of her before the blister on her foot caused her to ditch skating.

Rock Climbing

We needed a break from all that snow so we took the kids rock climbing with some of their friends. There is an indoor rock climbing gym not to far from here. Nick and Kelsey both made it to the top of their climbs but Kelsey definitely enjoyed it more.

Ugh! More Snow

Another 12-18 inches are expected today! I am so ready for Spring! This is our third "crippling" (the weatherman's term not mine) snow storm since Dec 19th and our second in 5 days.



OK, so I had to bribe the kids just a bit to get this picture but how many times can you stand in 2+ feet of snow in your bathing suits? I promise they were out for less than 3 minutes and what a picture to remember the snowiest winter in recorded Philadelphia history. Who says it doesn't snow in New Jersey!

Another 20+ inches of Snow in NJ

Yuck! More snow! I can't believe I ever fell for the "we barely get snow in Jersey" fairy tale everyone out here told me when we moved. It's our second massive snow storm this year. This weekend's storm is the second largest in Philadelphia history and only missed the top record by about 2 inches. Towns around us are reporting anywhere from 21 to 27 inches.

Nick had a blast playing outside in all the white stuff. Rob got to do a ton of shoveling and I helped some and as usual I'm the one behind the camera. You will notice that Kelsey is missing from all the photos. That's because she is on a Cabin Camping Weekend for Girl Scouts. What a weekend!

Enjoy the photos and hopefully this will be the last of the snow pics for this year. Maybe we'll venture out tomorrow to the big hill in town.
