…Now with Curie and Elia
Isabella’s family invited us to Bobby McKey’s make sure you see the video of Erin dancing to YMCA!
The National Harbor merry-go-round is the best deal in the DMV, It went up to $7 per kid (adults ride free) but it is all-you-can-ride
The Peep store is the only one in the country purportedly. The kids don’t need much to have fun, just a wall and their imagination. Olivia is under the cover. Pictures of Elia jumping are posted separately.
Picking honeycrisp apples at Macintosh Fruit Farms.
Today we received a surprise package from Olivia and Sofia, in it was a Marie Curie (on the back) shirt that reads “Stay Curious” and Chewbaca, Darth Vader, and Yoda Itty Bitties. This is Curie in her new shirt (she is wearing it with a tutu – science and dance, right?). They wanted to say thank you (Elia got Darth Vader and Yoda), and we thought you might want to see Curie in the shirt. She wants to wear it to bed tonight.
The crawfish were very active, it was like Candace said, it was like “the claw” in Toy Story, every time you came up to them, all of them would raise their claws.
The girls loved it, Elia said “I crawfisher-Belle.” Both of them took their job very seriously fishing out every live crawfish and putting them in pots. They took out ten dead ones, without a flinch.
In the sink to be washed, sorted and ready to cook, cooking, and done.
Sunday we went to Burke Lake after finding out we missed the Tulip Festival this year. You can only have three people in a boat so we took out two and took the ones with motors. Very relaxing, blowing bubbles, having a snack on the water and generally having a good time.
You would think boating was enough but the kids wanted to go “balling,” luckily Nahal and Navi are game for anything.
Misc-more… we had dinner with Isabella and her family on Friday at Chuy’s, saw Bella’s play Get Smart at her middle school, had play dates, made popsicles, saw the Tamanahas, drew pictures (yes, we are drawing My Little Pony with little colored pencils for the girls), and had dinner at A&J’s with Navi and Nahal.
Anyone who has gone to Disneyland after Disney World is usually disappointed by Sleeping Beauty’s castle because it is smaller and older and less impressive than Cinderella’s Castle (note we have not been to the other Disney properties to compare other castles, but we will get to them). But the other night when walking through Disneyland we saw Sleeping Beauty’s castle in a new light, literally. Here it is adorned with lights to make it look like it is covered in snow and frozen, and for comparison, a night shot of Cinderella’s castle taken a few years back.
Here it is by itself for a closer look:
