Washington, DC

A couple of weeks ago we went up to Washington, DC for a day.  We started out in Fort Meade, MD - a potential place for us to be after school.  The Cryptological Museum was closed, so we just wandered around this memorial with a bunch of airplanes in it.  Noah really liked them.


The highlight of the day came at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum though.  They had a live butterfly pavilion that we were able to go into and play around in.  Kennedy and Noah had so much fun!

Kennedy loves to pose like this lately.  I have no idea why.

Apparently butterflies really like fruit.



These butterflies really liked us.  One landed on Noah's head (although he didn't like it and it didn't stay for long), and one landed on Brett's shorts and stayed for about 15 minutes.  When we were ready to leave the room, Brett had to pry it off of him.  Gently, of course.



Noah really liked learning about the different kinds of butterflies in the room.



After the museum, we took the kids to the merry-go-round before heading home.  Kennedy had been talking about it ALL day, and it was right behind the museum, so we took them on.


It was a long and hectic day, squeezing in as much as possible, but it was fun for sure.

Dang, you are making me jealous with all the fun stuff you do! And don't scrap your beach pics yet, I'm working on a beachy kit.
