Phila Naval Yard

The other day on one of our adventures we discovered this amazing place.  The Philadelphia Naval yard, with a peak workforce of over 45,000 in WWII it's now not so busy but still interesting to visit.

Lots of Love,

Hey All,

It's been another long while since I blogged so my apologies but things are busy here. We've all been busy making, creating and having "Parties".  Bella favourite thing at the moment is to bake amazing meals in her toy kitchen, we have a feast, open awesome nic nac presents (made by Bella) and then put some music on the speakers and dance around our living. Bella is getting to be a great dancer with her ballet classes.... As I write Bella is actually waiting for me to join her for one of our famous parties, she's almost finished cooking with her pink unicorn "Elsa".

Here's a collection of photos from the past 3 months.

Ice skating!
