Weekend fun - A trip to Philly

This weekend was so relaxing yet fun. We took a road trip to visit my BFF Melissa in Philly. We go every year in June to help her celebrate her birthday in style :). The plan was to go to Philly, hang out there for a bit then drive to Melissa's parents who live in NJ a mere 20 minutes away to spend the rest of the weekend.

We hit the road super early on Saturday. Check out my little man on his kindl on the backseat. Kids and technology I tell you, only way we keep them entertained on road trips

Knowing how much my boys love water, Melissa took us to sister cities park, an awesome park in the middle of the city with water everywhere.

Tman was in heaven at this place. From the moment we got there until we left, it was pure enjoyment for my little man. He didn't want to leave, surprise surprise.

 I hung out with Jbird most of the time and he was totally loving the water too

 Of course I had to pose my matching boys for a pic, love my boys

The boys played together for a bit splashing away everywhere

Then Tman wanted to go explore the nearby area so my hubby followed him around. I love seeing my baby so grown up exploring things around him. So proud of my boy

We then moved to the splash area where we found the coolest thing. There were names of various cities from around the world and how far they are from Philly. Well low and behold one of the cities was none other than Douala, Cameroon. Huh, really. I am from Cameroon and I lived in Douala. How cool and completely random is that?

Of course I had to take a pic with that :). Somebody had to represent

Tman thoroughly enjoyed this splash park, it was non-stop entertainment. He didn't want to leave

 I mean, is this a happy kid or what?

 My Tman's feet all shriveled up after almost 2 hours playing in the water

We chilled in the park for a bit having a mini-picnic before heading to Jersey

Our outing to sister cities park was a great success. If you are ever in Philly and want to entertain your children or just have a picnic, definitely check this park out. We were so tired after a long day of fun that we just chilled the entire night.

The next day was just spent relaxing. We did nothing all day and it felt good. We really needed all the relaxing time that we could get.

Check out my boys chilling in the backyard

How cute are my hubby and Jbir napping together, My two favorite pics of the trip

 

 While they napped, Tman kicked the ball around in the backyard

 Then got on the lawn mower with melissa's dad.

My booboo was loving it

Before we knew it, we had to hit the road and go home. What a great weekend we had. It was so nice to visit Melissa and her family. Next up is our trip to Canada in 2 days, eeek, I am so excited. I am so happy that my kids are such good travelers. Hope you all had a great weekend.
