An Extra One. We made Curie’s June post before the end of the month and without taking into account the weekend. For Curie’s posts we pick four pictures, one of her and Elia, and one of the family. On any given day there is at least one picture, but most likely several that would count. Since these didn’t even get the consideration, we thought we would post an extra one.
The last weekend in June we went to National Harbor to play in the sand by the Awakening, ride the Capitol Wheel, ride the merry go round and visit with Albert’s cousin Celia at the National Mall. Starting with the large picture on the right, we brought three shovels and a pail to make sand castles, a number of kids came up to us to play and at one point we had given away everything except for one shovel that Curie was using. The older kids were filling the pail and the younger kid started crying because he did not have a shovel. Curie, unprompted, came up to him and gave him her shovel. Left one picture at the top is Curie, who moved away from the castle making and started covering her feet up in sand to entertain herself because the (older) kids were playing with the shovels and pail. That is our daughter.
Next picture down is Curie hugging a rock at the Smithsonian. The next two are Curie on the carousel at National Harbor, for five dollars you can ride all day. She rode a horse, a panda, and an eagle. We didn’t choose a picture of the ferris wheel, but she loved it and took pictures of the boats with her camera. Finally, the last picture is of Curie and her best friend.
