More Virginia Fun

Blogging about this trip makes me want to go back! Garrett and Benjamin at the Space Museum. These shuttles and planes were huge! The boys loved every minute.

Aunt Tamee got the boys new jammies when we got there, so we were ready for the cold nights, we slept great. The best part of the trip was having the cousins get to know eachother better. My boys are so unskilled in the ways of girls. Kendall quickly taught Jeffey that after you get married (which she has announced they had done) you dance. She then promptly kissed him to seal the deal! Jeffey was a little clueless, but they became fast friends because she would play doggies with him. In our box waiting for the musical Legally Blonde to start at the Kennedy Center. I had enough fun to justify the cost of both our tickets! The cousin crew, dutifully posing for one of many pictures on the trip. They had such a great time just being together. It really didn't matter if we were at a historical site or McDonalds.

We couldn't get over how much Jeffey has grown since our last trip. He loved wearing his hoodie. Thanks again to Tamee for the great pictures. Thanks also for feeding us so well. Jeff went from the 10th to the 26th percentile over the Christmas break!! What holiday is complete without a little church ball. Here is the boys making shots while the daddy's played in a little tournament. Playing at the Museum of Natural History. This was probably the coldest day we were there, so it was great to hang out inside. Grandma would be proud of our picnic lunch we packed and ate inside.

The boys loved this bear because Papa saw them in theYukon and Grandpa sings us the Bear Hunt song on Sunday nights.

We loved the T-Rex the most and it has started a little dinosaur phase for the boys. The combo of the scary teeth and that it is made of bones is fantasic to little boys, the "gruesomer", the better.

Keith and Tammee watched the kids one day and let us go sight seeing in the capital. We spent most of the day in the National Archives and in the Library of Congress. The Library had to be the best part for me. It was so amazing inside and a truely sacred place.

Our day away ended when Keith and Tammee met us at the Kennedy Center to see the musical of Legally Blonde. We had incredible seats, and although a little chic-flicish, it was fun to double. We reminissed about the early years before kiddos and enjoyed the great company. I'm so glad I have such great inlaws.

On our last day we went into Baltimore to the Aquarium. These double stollers got some serious millege this week. (so did the daddy's)

The boys found a "real" pirate ship on the warf.

Posing in the prehistoric shark's mouth.

Watching the dolphin show. After the show Jeffey said he liked dolphins better than doggies. (He since informed me that he has changed his mind back)

What a wonderful trip. Thanks again to our Virginia cousins for the "best trip ever". We miss you.
