Quack!

On Sunday, we headed into the city to go on the Philly Duck Tour as a Father's Day Treat. Hanna started the obsession with the ducks and we decided it was about time we check them out for ourselves. (Strangely enough, the Clarks celebrated the same way in Boston last week.)

Even before we got moving, the whole thing was a hit with Shannon!

We started by cruising around the streets of Old City and got to see some of the historic sites like Independence Hall.

"Umm, don't you think this is a bit ridiculous?"

Then we splashed into the Delaware River and got a view of the city and to see some less historic sites like Will Smith's dad's waterfront condo.

The rule was: Be quiet and listen while your guide shares the history, but quack all you want while the music is playing. Shannon liked the music!

And guess who else had fun?

Philly Duck Tour is officially endorsed by the McGee's!

Kelly: Three Months

Look at me! I'm three months old and loving life!

The biggest update this month is that Kelly has started school because Mommy is back to work. So far, things are going great. She's in the same room Shannon was in as an infant so we know already know her teachers. It took her a little bit to get used to bottles during the day, but she's doing well. And she'll have her pick of boyfriends...she's one of only 2 girls in her room right now.

Tricks... this girl is s-t-r-o-n-g. She's holding her head really well, can roll from front to back (first did this at 3 weeks!), and is getting close to going from back to front too. She loves being on her feet.

She can grab objects now and likes to eat her shirt. Shannon has also learned the hard way that Kelly likes to pull and eat hair. "Mommy! Help! Baby! Hair!"

Fake sneezes are guaranteed to get a smile and Kelly can hold her own in a baby conversation.

PS. Thanks Liz for the reminder phone call. The post might be late, but the picture was taken on time!

Happy Anniversa-reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

On June 22, we'll be celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary. Instead of the traditional wool or copper gifts, we gave each other the gift of... zipline.

A local "ski resort" (sorry, after living in Colorado I'm a total mountain snob) has created what they call a canopy tour. You take a chair lift up to the top and then work your way down the mountain going from platform to platform. Some of the platforms are connected by ziplines that you whiz down quickly (the fastest one has you cruising at about35 mph) and others are connected by challenges (bridges to cross, hanging vines to swing from, a rope to crawl along upside-down, military-style).

"Look Mom! No hands!"

We were out there for about 2 hours and by the last zip, Chris was feeling brave enough to go upside down.

All in all, the day was a blast. Almost as much fun as being married to the best guy ever. Love you, Chris!

....One MILLION Dollars!!!

Beach Pics

Finally! Some pics from our trip to Virginia Beach. Shannon continues to be a big fan of the ocean.

She also had a lot of fun playing in the sand this time.

(Look what the professional sand castle-builder made!)

Left to right are Uncle Pat, Uncle Mike and Aunt Hanna. Doesn't this picture look fake? Like a weather forecast set?

All week we heard "Nam-ma, nam-ma!" but was this seriously the only shot I got of my Mom and Dad? Oops...

Even Miss Kelly got in on the beach action.

(Feel like you've already seen this pic? Maybe you're thinking of this.)

And lastly, in case you were wondering where Shannon gets her crazy hair from...

Happy Summer!

Traveling with Two Under Two

More pics of the trip itself to come soon, but I couldn't resist this pair of photos.
