Playing Around at the new place

July 14-20, 2008
Isaac announced to everyone on the airplane that he wanted to go down the emergency slide.
We arrived in Philadelphia on Monday afternoon and we stayed at a hotel with a swimming pool so the boys were pretty excited about that.
Tuesday morning we headed over to our new place and we love it. Its actually bigger than I remember it--there's a nice long hallway for the kids to run down and ride their bikes down.
The Hollingshouse family that we met during Wharton welcome weekend has been really helpful. They lent us an airbed, pillows, blankets, and toys before our stuff arrived and then on Sunday they invited us over with another new family, the Millers, for dessert. They have two little boys--ages four and two, so its a perfect match for our boys.
We went to church here for the first time today and the ward seems like fun. It's about half inner city families and half young student families. Unfortunately there aren't many Latinos because most go to the Spanish branch. Isaac lucked out with a really good primary teacher and he was very happy after sunbeams so that's always a good sign.
