Mount Vernon

Our family made a trip to Mount Vernon last week, which was George Washingtons mansion and plantation. What a neat experience! The grounds are quite extensive, and the house is kept in pristine condition. How amazing to walk where our first president walked. We saw the room where he found out he had been elected our first president, and we saw the room where he passed away. Paul had a treat in seeing George Washingtons dentures on display. It was a worthy Saturday adventure.

By the time this photo was taken, the kids were done. We tried to snap a picture in between sobs from Aaron, and wriggling from Logan. We were partly successful.

Logan thought the child statue was pretty neat. He kept staring at it.

Here is George Washington's tomb. What a great man


On the home front, Aaron rolled over for the first time. I can't believe my little baby is growing up! *sniff* Logan got into our markers, and decided they would look best scribbled all over his wall. That kiddo never seems to find an end to his mischief making. But he warms our hearts with his adorable smiles and sweet hugs. I'd do anything for him when he says "I yuv yoo mommy." What precious moments.

Here's our Curious George. He spotted a blue tailed lizard and wanted to poke it. Unfortunately it was unobliging and scurried away. Smart lizard.

Isn't Aaron a cutie! Just look at that smile.

How fun! I want to come down there and visit you sometime. Maybe someday... We went on a walk yesterday and Lincoln asked if we could go to Logan's house. We all miss you!
