Day 11- Philly

We drove into Philly early this morning and went to Liberty Square.  We saw the Liberty Bell, and we toured Independence Hall where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were drafted and signed.
We had to get a shot with the famous LOVE statue!
We went to Valley Forge and toured their visitors center and walked and drove around the State Park there.  Pretty place.

Andy fell asleep during a movie they showed about Valley Forge.
We also went to Smith Memorial Park.  It was awesome!!!
A slide at the park.  The kids were racing down it.
The park even had this huge playhouse to play in!
After Philly we drove to DC area.  We had dinner there and got to the temple at 7:30pm.  The older kids did baptisms.  They said it was their new favorite temple.

The younger kids and I waited on the grounds while the older ones went in.  We were not bored though!
The visitors center was hosting a fireside/performance with Lindsey Sterling.  It was really great and such a nice surprise for us to get to do that!  This photo is horrible.  No flash allowed.
The visitors center was fantastic and had a lot of great things for the kids to do,
The temple also had beautiful nature paths.  We saw deer and rabbits and lots of fireflies.
The kids and I were in heaven.
Another amazing day!
