A Taste of DC

I love the fact that my parents live so close to Washington, DC. There are endless museums for the kids to check out. During this visit we decided to go to the National Aquarium and the National History Museum. One great thing about it, most of the museums are FREE!

Grady found a great bug at the insect zoo. What a wonderful exhibit for kids...and adults. It was full of insects, spiders and other creepy crawlies.


Myles wasn't sure about all the bugs.

This was Grady's favorite exhibit. Well, maybe not his favorite but he was fascinated by it. It was a diorama of some t-rex dinosaurs eating another dinosaur. He wanted to "smash the glass and save the little dinosaur and wipe off that red paint". Here is Mimi trying to explain that it isn't real. I don't think she convinced him. If you ask him what he saw at the museum he says,

"you remember that little hurt dinosaur?"

The look in Mimi's eye!! She is thinking...don't leave me with both of these kids!!!

What a great spider

Uncle Will plays hookie from work and joins us at the Aquarium.
He bought G the little stuffed crab he is holding. Right after he bought it Grady took it into the bathroom with us. While I was changing Myles, I heard the water running in the sink. Grady had turned the water on and dropped the crab in it. He then stated that, "crabs belong in the water."

Myles enjoys the aquarium too

Walking around DC. We had great weather, SUNNY!!
