Reading Terminal

Wednesday was Grandma and Grandpa's last day in town. Before heading to the airport we went into downtown Philadelphia to Reading Terminal Market. I love to walk around markets and look at all the fresh produce, flowers and meats. Reading Terminal reminds me of Pike's Market in Seattle, minus any bubble tea for sale!
I'm not sure the point of this pig...but the girls thought it was funny that you could put a coin in his mouth and it came out his bottom. Nice.
The vibrant colors of the produce and flowers just can't be communicated, even in pictures.

Baileigh took this photo...she really wants her own camera so I've been letting her take pictures with my camera more frequently if she agrees to listen to my advice and let me teach her how to try to take photos...she is eager to learn and takes some decent pictures!
There were endless displays of chocolates, cookies, candies, baked goods, etc. The girls had a hard time trying to decide which one thing they would pick for a treat.
Both girls selected a sucker that looked like an ice cream cone...it was made with honey and lasted them over an hour!

The first camera in our family was a rite of passage set by our Great Aunt. Each niece/nephew was given a Polaroid camera (you know the kind where you get to watch the photo develop) for their birthday when they were in 1st grade. A love of photography was definitely developed in all of us. Hmmm... who will be in 1st grade soon, with a birthday in a few months! :) -faith
