A Day in Philly

At the Liberty Bell
At Independence Hall
Waiting in line for the tour
Finding places to play while parents wait in line
Caught a glimpse of the new Philadelphia Temple from the car
Boys playing under a “tree” sculpture
Can’t go to Philly without celebrating Rocky
Anthony, Sam and Ammon running the stairs
Anthony, Ben and Ammon
Ben descending – he ran up and down about 30 times
Anthony enjoying the view – Jacob on his way down
Champion Sam
Mom and Sam
Champions!
A family of champions!
Anthony and Ammon sad over not being able to play in the fountain
Dad enjoying some soul food
Dinner part 2 in the AirBnB – watching a movie also

Ice castles

Trip to the ice castles at Soldier Hollow toward Heber. Uncle Doug and cousin Lorelai were also with us.

Ok, but if you get stuck, you’re own your own
Sam, Jacob and Lorelai with snow-glow-rocks
James, Benjamin and Anthony – looks like the rocks used for the Jaradite barges in the Book of Mormon
Ooooh, shiny
Even Ammon was amazed
Oh, I get it, a glowing snow cone
James – I have the power!
Or does sorcerer Benjamin
Mom and Ammon with a backlit formation
Sam finds a nice wall to keep him warm
LaReita and Ammon in an ice tunnel
