Random Things

One of the great things about our house is this tree in front. It is a little tree with lots of branches for the kids to climb on. So far they have managed to not break any off, although I am concerned about that sometimes.

Callie is a good tree climber. She does get stuck the most though. Delaney is trying to be like her sister, but has not managed to get off the ground yet.



Joshua and Marian are pros here. They get high enough I worry about tree-tipping or snapping branches. So far its been okay. Well, except for that little bat in Joshua's hand. We did have to have a discussion about not wacking the branches.

Yesterday while I took Callie to Target with me, Dan took Joshua, Marian and Delaney to Mount Vernon. They had a good time. They spent 3 hours traipsing around the place checking stuff out. Dan said it was worth it to get year passes.

Marian on the wall, with the river in the background. She's a cutie!


Way cute! Joshua and Marian as George and Martha Washington.


Dan said this was Delaney's favorite thing. When you pushed the buttone, it made animal sounds. Delaney loved running around pushing the buttons.

we really liked Mnt Vernon too. You don't even know how jealous I am of you that you live right next to the river trail....what I would do for a trail...
We keep waiting for a few of our branches to snap too, but so far, so good!

Your adventures look like so much fun. Although I don't know how you do it. It looks exhausting.

Trees are great fun for kids, but they scare the crap out of Moms though! I am so jealous that you are in (almost) DC. We visited Mt. Vernon when Ty was deployed to Belvoir. It was a fun place to look around. Want to have a little fun with the people there? Insist on pronouncing Potomac, "Pah-tuh-mack." It's worth the looks some people will give you! lol

Besides being a "Washington" Marian does favor the "Fox" side of the family =)
