Anisa's Art Show and Longwood Gardens

Anisa had an Art Show at school where the lower school children displayed paintings, drawings, ceramics and artwork they had worked on during the year. Saadia's best friend, Sabiha, came from San Diego and was able to spend a few days in Philadelphia...including a short drive down to DC. Towards the end of the week we went to Longwood Gardens on the first warm day of Spring. It was a hot sunny day and the flowers were vivid and colorful.
