Pelican Lake, July 5th

We just LOVE bugs! There's no shortage of bugs at the lake, here is a dragonfly I caught.

Until we master the slingshot, water basketball will have to be our sport of choice.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

A couple of pictures specifically for Grandma, Nana, Gigi, and DotDot:


Marigny: This is a little kid that was an orphan. She went for a walk in the woods. She found a baby duck. Thats it.


Lucy: These are wobbly-woods. They are going to the park to play with their friends. They saw a monster. It said "I'm hungry for wobbly-woods". The wobbly-woods ran home. The monster stayed at the park to play with its friends. The end.




Happy mothers/grand-mothers/great-grand-mothers day!!!

The best part about the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History?

Marigny meeting C3PO

More from D.C. and the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History:

We are still waiting for our invite to the Royal Wedding and just in case it doesn't arrive, our backup plan is to throw our own Princess Party. This crown would be perfect for our Mom to wear to the Princess Party! Hope we have enough saved up in our piggy banks.

This was another one of our favorites....

This amethyst was beautiful, but we were pretty sure it would bump us over the weight limit for our checked bag....

The museum had a butterfly house where the butterflies could land on you! Even with our flower shirts we could not coax on to come closer, maybe next time.....

It was a blustery day out on the National Mall and we had to hold on to our horses so we didn't blow away!
