Best. Day. Ever.

So I stole that expression from my daughter. But today was just so awesome!

Mike took the day off and we went down to DC for the day.

We went to see a 747 carrying a Space Shuttle fly over DC.

It will be in the Air and Space Museum soon.

Then to our favorite - Natural History Museum

(Magnetic) Lodestone

Whistle for Gerry

Stuffed Snake for Marisol

(Blue Purple Jaguar - or was it Purple Blue Jaguar?)

Marisol took the world's shortest nap - must have been about 5 minutes!

Gerry got his snooze on Mom.

Duck Bottoms!

Mama Duck and Babies

Goslings too!

Lots of construction down on the Mall

We flew kites for about 5 minutes until they both broke-

We don't recommend $5 kites!

Trying to piece it back together

Smelling the flowers

Picnic in front of the White House

Exhausted kids on Metro-

Each with "their" iPhone ;-)

Easter and more

Cuddling and recovering from an exciting weekend

Things they say

Marisol:

"I like when they do flashbacks" (watching the show, "Too Cute" I had explained flashbacks while watching the movie "Fly Away Home" the previous week)

"Length times width equals area" - as she measured the height of the egg yolk I blew out from eggs to color for Easter. She learned the formula from Cyber chase - of course!

"Who knew?" ... babies could be so heavy? ... Flying kites could be so tiring? (she says "Who knew" a lot lately! These are the only two I remember)

"You need to focus!" to me... can't remember why or when. Guess I need to focus ;P

Gerry:

"I not don't want...." He's into double negatives right now.

"Phew!" complete with a swipe of the hand to his brow.

"What dhat sound?" about anything he hears

"I want doe friend's house" which is any of many friends - he loves playing with other people's to

"To infinity and beyond" Toy Story is a favorite around here - the way he says it is way cuter, but I'm not sure how to write it.

"All aboard! Team Geotrax!"

Wordless Wednesday

So I'm trying to get posts up regularly on Mondays and Fridays over at Together Walking. So I thought I would add another to my weekly posts here. I've seen others do "Wordless Wednesdays" and I like the idea. Instead of just picking one picture I plan to pick a handful of our week. If I can do it consistently it will give an idea of things we've been up to. So here's my first one with some snapshots of the past couple of weeks. Enjoy!
