The District

We spent a couple of days touring D.C. while we were back east.



As usual, we packed in the fun....burgers with Uncle Doug at the Shake Shack, monument march, Natural History Museum, Ford's Theater, Portrait Gallery, Nationals game, American History Museum, more monuments, Pentagon Memorial, chili at Hard Times Cafe and more monuments. Phew. So fun!!

Cub Camp

Charlie experienced his first Cub Scout camp. And it was awesome! He shot bb guns, dove through "lasers," hiked, played games and launched rockets.

This year the Trading Post didn't sell pocket knives, which is what Elliot bought. Charlie spent his hard earned money on a rabbit skin. What the what?!

As a side note, it took him about twenty minutes to scrub his body clean.

Dance Recital

Lucy performed in her dance recital to a packed house. She did a tap number as a dinosaur and a was a princess for her ballet routine. Lucy was fantastic!

Lucy has loved dancing this year and has improved so much. She was awarded preschool dancer of the year!

The boys were so cute with her afterwards. They hugged her and told her she was great. It might have been my favorite moment of the night.

Rain gutter Regatta

Elliot and Roman, one of his best buddies, rocked the regatta. The boats sailed with the best of them. Not too shabby for ships that were sanded, painted and put together this afternoon!

This race is Stockton and Elliot. Let's just say Elliot learned how to lose. A skill we're still honing.

Bright Endings

Lucy performed in our last preschool program. Her line is "We learned about the four seasons." She did a fantastic job! In the math song the kids took turns busting a move. She chose to do a cartwheel....in a dress. Classy.

Bomber

Charlie hit his first home run! With a player on 3rd he smacked one over the left center field fence. He sprinted around the bases like they would call it back if he didn't hurry. At home plate he was swallowed up by his friends jumping around him and smacking his helmet.


Charlie's coach went and retrieved the ball so he could keep his first homer. A mazing!
