Who gets Columbus day off? A lot of the counties nearby didn't get it off school. But, S. got work off, and we didn't have to teach Seminary! Any holiday is welcome here! We had a fun day going to Glen Echo Park, even though the Carousel was closed for the season (Who knew? It was 80 degrees that day!)
One of the {MANY} benefits of being a Virginian--Great Falls. Not really a benefit of living in Maryland--the view is not NEARLY as good from their side (can you tell I am a Virginia Snob?). For Columbus Day we went to Great Falls after picking up some cuisine at La Madeline. We were a high class family eating at the picnic tables. The kids loved climbing the rocks, but I have to admit I was a little paranoid seeing all the signs for how many drownings there are each year. I haven't been to Great Falls in years, and they have blocked off a lot more places so risks HAVE to be lower. I love how in the pictures we are holding our children in someway so they don't fall. Call me overprotective.

Call you mama:)
I especially like how S is holding on to the Little Man's pants to keep him safe. That's the way we always do it. :)
Very fun! When are you going to reveal this "belly" you say you have? I would be nervous around there with my kids too...We tell Sean something like, "time to get down now so you don't fall." And he replies confidently, "I won't, I promise." How do you explain to a kid that sometimes they can fall even if they don't want to?
Care--I know what you mean about the falling! In the pool Boo has whispered to me that Heavenly Father won't let her go all the way down to the bottom (covered with water). Umm, you still need to learn how to swim, B.)
