It's the Great Pumpkin!

Giving Hallie a bath!

Our neighbors, who also own a German Shepherd, was so kind to let us borrow their dog washer for us to try out. It an attachment for your house that has a soap cartridge in it, so it's just a flip of a switch to soap her up and then rinse her off.

Hallie not having a clue that she is going to get a bath!

After our fabulous lunch at the Moshulu, we wen to the National Constitution Center to see the Diana exhibit. This was the first time that this exhibit was in Philadelphia. We were not allowed to take pictures inside the exhibit. The exhibit was amazing, my favorite part was seeing Diana's wedding dress, complete with her 25 foot train! The exhibit consisted of nine galleries showcasing the life and legacy of Princess Diana.

Our first trip was a success, make sure the keep up with Tilly Mint's on facebook and our website to see what we will be doing next!

La Petite's Fall Fest

Tonight, was the Fall Fest at Dave's school. Everyone was invited to join in on the fun! All proceeds benefited Make-A-Wish Foundation. They had games set up for the kids to play and some crafts to do. Dave was lucky enough to come home with a bag of goodies from the games and a fish! Sorry that this is the only picture that we have from the night, but we were all having fun that I forgot to take pictures!

Philadelphia Zoo

We thought that today would be a great day to spend outside a the big zoo!

Aren't these two just cute hugging?!

Dave wanted his picture taken with the elephants.

Learning some facts about naked mole rats.

Watching the monkeys.

And being a monkey!!

Deciding who to see next.

Of course it was off to the reptile house to see, the TURTLES! "Check out this snake first!"

TURTLES!

An Alligator Snapping Turtle.

Dave making sure that I see every turtle!

Dave thought that it was rather polite of this guy to let the turtle eat first.

Outside the reptile house.

The rhino was out and about today.

"I love turtles!"
