What a great day!!

Today stated off as a huge excitement for Dave, it was his first train ride!! He was fantastic on the train and loved every minute of the ride into Philadelphia (and home again). The day was exciting for me too! We met up with one of my very old and dear friends, Belinda! We have been friends for about 20 years, wow times flies. This is one friendship that is a lifelong friendship.

After arriving at Suburban Station and meeting up with Belinda we headed to The Franklin, just a short walk from the station. (Our original plan was to go to the zoo, but with the overcast weather we thought it might be better to stay inside today.)

Above Dave and Nan are making different sized bubbles, the smaller the bubble the harder to make.

Dave the captain of a huge ship!

Making different fog horn sounds with their bottoms, HAHA!

This was one of Dave's favorite activities at The Framklin. You would put these little foam balls in the tube and place the vacuum hose on the the tube and the balls would jump out the other side.

Making a turtle spit water.

Dave and Belinda trying to figure out how to get the ball from one to the other, this took them quite a long time.

Then we moved into the space section of The Franklin. I'm not sure what Mom and Belinda are looking at, but it seems to have their attention, but not Dave's.

This was by far Dave's favorite part, he loved watching the marbles race to the center.

Trying to fly in the wind tunnel!!

"This is pretty hard, but fun!"

I think he got it...well kind of.

"Here Nan you try."

"HAHAHAHA!!!!!"

Taking an x-ray.

And of course the giant heart!!

And before heading to dinner at TGI Fridays, Dave tried his hands or feet, I guess you would say, at surfing.

Thank you so much Belinda for going to The Franklin with us, we had a great time, and it was wonderful to see you again. We will plan another trip down to Philly to see you again soon!!
