Hooray for a Leupen Thanksgiving in Baltimore.

Philadelphia Weekend

Here are just a few pics from the recent meeting up of the Yoder-Wellses and the Leupen-Yoders in Philadelphia this past weekend. Some events, such as playing in the pool and visiting the Reading Terminal Market (which included delicious pastries as well as lobster-viewing), went unphotographed-- but were enjoyable nonetheless.

Lucy on the rings at Fairmount Park. We spent several hours here on Saturday, enjoying the ridiculously wonderful weather.

The Academy also has an excellent sitting-tortoise.

Sorry Grandma and Grandpa Y. We tried several times but couldn't herd these cats.

Digging for dino bones. Lucy's impressive persistence on this task bodes well for future completion of her PhD thesis.
