My mom came out from Idaho to watch the kids while we went to the ball this year. We had a whole week to spend with her and here is some of what we did.
Amy had a puzzle for her to help put together almost every morning.
One night we played games and had popcorn and snacks. We played Cadoo, Uno, and Go Fish! We also enjoyed some of the famous caramel popcorn my mom makes, but it was gone faster than I could get a picture of us scarfing it down. Mmm.
Amy got her hair curled a couple times and she looked like a new lady. Mom always did our hair cute when I was little. Maybe I should take more time on that.
And she read stories and watched movies most days, too. What you don't see is all the WORK that my mom did. I got so spoiled with her here, it was hard to start my chores on Monday. She vacuumed and scrubbed my floors, ironed my curtains, did dishes, folded laundry, sewed a few projects, weeded my flowers, and probably did things I don't even know about! Oh, and she found our mysterious filter and washed it out, but my favorite was when she cleaned my banister and showed me the rag. Then she said, "Look at how dirty that was!" It's OK. I'm not offended. My mom is the best cleaner around! She's going to find these things no matter what!
This is Independence Hall behind them where the Declaration of Independence was actually signed in that building! Maybe. We think. Pretty sure. We didn't go inside it. You had to buy tickets.
And this is THE Liberty Bell! THE one!
And this is Benjamin Franklin's grave. There is just so much history out here. 
And the last thing we did was tour the US Mint. The coins that have a P on them came from this very building. We couldn't take pictures inside to show though. Adam was pretty excited for this. He's been collecting coins for a couple years.
