Seeing the sights

This thing is heavy!


So is this thing!


Let's dance!








Seeing a play,


riding a Ferris wheel,



working at grandpa's office,


and eating saganaki and octopus


can really wear you out!

More summer

A couple weeks back in Philly...



and in the circus...


and on the moon...




and a few other places...






before heading off to Chicago!






To turn 3! Happy birthday, Louisa!

Back in town

Le grand voyage: Alsace

Another day, another efficient European rental car (another reason to have only one suitcase!)


takes us to...the (French) land of sausage, sauerkraut, and wine.




Louisa discovered soft boiled eggs for breakfast, and Leo discovered...CHOCOLATE CEREAL??!!?


The view from Haut-Koenigsbourg castle.






It's nice and cool in the mountains of Alsace.


The kids took pictures of each other while waiting in line...



for a spectacular birds-of-prey show...


at another castle.


I don't think there's any place in America where you can get this close to an American bald eagle.



They started acting like monkeys,



so we took them to Monkey Mountain.






There were cool beetles there too.


One more country to go. One lovely evening in Heidelberg, Germany.



And le grand voyage comes to a close. Au revoir! A la prochaine!
