Today after church we loaded everyone up and headed down to D.C. Tangent: It is surreal to me that I can still remember sitting on a beach in Cabo San Lucas Mexico with H. and while our husbands snorkeled in the ocean we sat and talked about how we thought that soon we would be ready to start our families. Now look at us. With our three and their 2 (with a 3rd on the way this summer) all of us don't even fit in our van! So crazy. Anyway our little convoy headed down to the Museum of Natural History and went exploring. The children especially loved the Mammals section where there are all of these stuffed animals. When we first walked in Kohen looked up and saw the pouncing tiger up above and was pointing and all excited. Most of the fun was watching the children discover things and enjoy themselves. When it was time to leave (in other words: The kids were getting dangerously close to melt downs, see first group photo) we discovered that the rain this area is in desperate need of had arrived just in time to soak us as we walked to our cars. We had a whole fantastic picnic spread prepared but it was obvious we needed to go to plan B. Finally we decided to go home and have a Pajama Party Picnic and watch Night At The Museum (thought that would be fitting in light of our outing) and the idea was a hit! We were comfortable and dry on our picnic blanket downstairs eating yummy food. Tonight the 'B' in Plan B stood for 'Better'.
