Luckily I caught him before he unraveled the toilet paper...
or dipped his fingers in the toilet! Ewe!
Port Discovery Children's Museum in Baltimore
Another place we haven't been for a while. Reagan loves going to the Children's Museum in Baltimore and since we froze our children on our walk yesterday we decided it was their turn to have some fun indoors.
I thought Camp would totally love hanging out, splashing in the water...but no. He was not at all amused. Could have been that the Mom of the child sitting next to him drenched the right side of his head (on accident) shortly after he sat down. Whoops! We'll try again next time.
What is Reagan going to be when he grows up?
This is one of Reagan's favorite parts of the museum. Can you tell it's one of my favorite too!
What is Reagan going to be when he grows up?
a window cleaner?
a plumber?
grocery clerk?
One thing is for sure...he probably won't be a drummer in a Rock n' Roll band. Although he enjoys singing more now than he ever has before, he still doesn't enjoy playing the drums!
Camp loved playing the drums.
Back to reality tomorrow:( We have really enjoyed spending extra time with the boys this weekend.
Great Falls Park
This morning we went to the Great Falls of Maryland and went for a much needed walk! Great Falls Park is located along the Potomac River. It's hard to believe that this 800 acre park is so close to the hustle and bustle of DC.
We haven't been here in years! The last time we went on this walk we looked like this. . .
Kai, myself & our nephew Bradley. . .probably 1999? Just to put it in perspective - the little munchkin on Kai's back is a freshman in high school this year!
Peek a boo! Both boys were snuggled up in the stroller for much of the ride. Burrr! It was super cold out!
The canal has a series of locks that were once in service along the canal.
There were several hawks circling. I assume they were looking for their next meal. The wingspan on these guys was amazing. So beautiful.
At the lookout Reagan enjoyed climbing around the rocks.
Not quite sure how Kai survived in just shorts! I was frozen and was completely covered and bundled up with layers of clothing.
Thanksgiving
Being away from our family during the Holidays is never easy. However, we have a great group of friends in DC that we have created some Thanksgiving traditions with. This year it appeared that we were feeding an army with the amount of food that we made! Of course we both have our favorite things we can not live without and then found some new recipes to try out.
Definitely the best looking pie I have ever made!
Not only was it a pretty good looking pie, it was delicious! I am definitely going to be making this one again!
Camp was feeling a little under the weather:( He snuck in some cuddles with Katrina.
Somehow Reagan always manages to get some roughhousing in with Steve.
Poor Steve
