Philadelphia, Day 2

The day began with a little Yo Gabba Gabba.

It was followed by watching some traffic.


Then it was time to pick some dandelions.


And to practice walking. Sunday, May 16th was the day Otis first started walking. Nice job O!

And then it was time for some frozen custard.

On the drive home, Otis was very happy to have figured out to take one of his Chucks off.

Out of Jail

After busting out of Eastern State, it was time for some relaxing at Great Uncle Brian's and Great-Aunt Rosemary's house.

The boys asked Aunt Amy for the secret password before agreeing to let her in.

Yummy

Holy heck. What in the world is this?


Eat it!


Brian removed Sam before he could fully destroy everything.

A Mid May Trip to Philadelphia

With SHR in Chicago for the weekend, Jim, Sean, and I took the boys to Philly for a night.

Sam was having fun by the wall of the Eastern State Penitentiary but he was more intrigued by Lucy.


Time for a little yard time in the shadows of the great former prison.

Sam enjoyed the mist but Otis was afraid that he might get shanked.

Aunt Amy tried to teach Otis how to walk while Great Aunt Rosemary continued to heal from her bike injuries.

Sam had some great dancing going on to the Mr. Softee theme song. Unfortunately for him, good dancing didn't lead to him having any ice cream.

Spaghetti!

While we were in Maryland, the boys had spaghetti for the first time. Unfortunately, the only pictures taken of the sacred event didn't come out too well.

So I present to you the second time Double Trouble had spaghetti. Exciting stuff.

Otis studied.

Before devouring.



Sam enjoyed some while also storing some for later.

The Hits Just Keep on Coming

Otis locked himself out of the fun times.

This picture was taken two weeks ago. Sam was the only one walking at that point. That all changed yesterday. More details to follow!

Destruction

Exhaustion

Crankiness

Uncle Bethy reads a bedtime story.

May in the Park

Come on guys, it isn't that bad!


Couple Tees!

Otis contemplates what just happened on Lost.

Mooney and Otis in a staring match. Otis won!

First time in a sandbox.



Otis loves waving sticks around.

Baby Escape

Aunt Amy and I set up a barrier so the boys couldn't roam all over the place.

Trying to figure out how to escape.

Otis sucked in his gut and tried to squeeze out.

Sam thought there was maybe a way out through the door but we had blocked that exit with a box.

So they gave up for a few minutes.

But then Sam had an idea.



You can't outsmart me!

Otis can't believe how dumb his original idea was.

For some reason, Sam backed up and tried to get a better angle out.


Yes!


Then Sam decided to block the way - just cuz he could.


Ok - you can come too.
