We made a visit to the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia today, and met up with two local bloggers to celebrate a birthday. Today was "PN's" 7th birthday, and Stacy from Random Thoughts along with her husband brought PN to the see the dinosaur bones! PN wants to be a paleontologist when she grows up, and knows and can pronounce dinosaur names better then me!!! Blogging Mama Andrea and her two cuties joined in the fun as well! I totally goofed and didn't get any group shots!
Tara and I arrived downtown a bit early, thinking we would wander around a bit, but Tara was just not interested. We did walk over to the Scwann Fountain and I took a few pictures. It was a beautiful day, after many days of rain, as well as me not feeling well. It felt good to be outside!
They have a great butterfly exhibit. You can see a collage of some other butterfly pics here.
After we were all done, we headed out to a park bench where PN opened her gifts. She was a very happy little girl I think. We all then headed off in our own directions toward home.
Tara and I stopped at Pudge's and got the cheese steaks we have both been craving for a few weeks! It was great, except they forgot one of our sandwiches, and I had to drive back over to pick it up! One of these days I will stop being so trusting and check my order before I leave a restaurant!

I haven't been there in years. Looks and sounds like you had a great time. That's neat that you connected with other bloggers.
Fabulous pictures! So big and crisp...love it. Must be cool to connect with local bloggers. BTW I live in North Wales and found you through Matty. ;o)
Great trip! I love the butterfly's eyes.
That butterfly pic is STUNNING! Great sets of photos in your last few posts! Wow.
Great pictures! I really love the top one. I didn't know about this place. I'm going to let James know that I would really like to go. It must be such a relief to be feeling better and to be getting out again.
