Parker and Jordan LOVED playing with Reese, the three of them got along amazingly well... we didn't hear one fight, fit or crying episode the whole time. We could hardly even get them to leave on adventures because they were having so much fun playing. Taleah really started sitting up and playing, and loved watching the boys run and play. She laughed at all of their antics.
We went to Manassas Virginia to the Civil War's Battle of Bull Run. It was POURING rain but the boys didn't let that stop them, they ran around shouting orders and "firing" the cannons. We had watched a movie about the battle and they were so interested. I love children's natural ability to learn and absorb information.
After our soaking wet tour of the battlefield, we met up with Christian and Stephanie (cousins) for lunch. They told us to met them at the new local hot spot "CAFE RIO"! Yep, you heard me Cafe Rio!!! The son of the D.C. temple president opened two stores in the D.C. area and they are doing amazingly well. It was just like at home...including a long line and full tables :) After a great lunch, we went to the Air and Space museum. We got there at 4:00, and got to go in for free - because they closed at 5:30. We quickly walked around and saw lots of cool planes and the space shuttle. The boys found some computer simulators of the cock pits of the different planes. They absolutely loved them, and we could hardly pull them away. Maybe I have some pilots on my hands :)
We then headed home for more fun and a BBQ. It was great to have the Francoms join us, I love my cousins! We must have been having fun because it was midnight before we finally convinced our boys that it was time for bed...they were still up and going strong!
