Uncle Buck Comes Back to New Jersey

We were so excited to have my brother, Bruce, and his son, Chase come to visit for a day in June.  They were out here for a lacrosse tournament over Father's Day weekend so we got to spend Sunday night and Monday with them.  Chase wanted to check out some Philadelphia sites, so we headed out on Monday to check out the city.

So, here's a funny story.  We went to get some cheese steaks at Sonny's and who should we run into but Natalie and Cori - two ladies from our ward who had taken Sis. Bennett and Sis. Wood (the sister missionaries serving in our ward) to the city for a p-day adventure.  Well, we get talking, and find out that Bruce actually knows Sis. Bennett's parents really well and in fact, used to double date with her mom in high school.  He called her mom and sent a photo of him having lunch with her daughter.  Small world!!!

Here's Meg and Chase by the Betsy Ross house

Thanks for coming to see us, guys.  We had a great time!!
