Where does the time go??? This week has flown by. Here's adventures:
We headed to the National Aquarium. We had gotten there right at the right time. It was still hot and muggy when we went in, but when we had come out, it was raining. Apparently while we were inside the storm hit and it got crazy. The Aquarium is downstairs and we couldn't hear a thing from outside. I had called Tyson and there were trees falling down around his office because of the wind and rain. Glad we didn't get stuck in that!
The kids liked the aquarium, but we didn't know how little it was going to be. We circled around in maybe 25-30 min...so we circled again to make sure we had caught everything. It didn't really matter how little it was because like I said, the kids had fun...except for the part when Lexi and Zach were fighting over pretend fish...priceless :-)

Abby and Lexi
Yesterday (Saturday), Tyson's work had an office picnic. They had tons of crab and all that yucky hot weather people warned me about, happened yesterday! We were pretty much sweating all day long. But it was good to meet people Tyson works with and the kids had a blast. Here's a picture of Lexi's face painting. They also had one of those big jumping blow up houses and a clown tying balloons. Tyson participated in the tug of war as well...his side lost :-(
Yesterday, after the picnic we went to the National Archives building and saw the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and the Constitution....way cool. You can't have any flash photography in there so all the pictures I took are really blurry. The room was pretty dark too, the darkness helps preserve the documents. It was a very cool experience though.
Earlier in the week we went to this park close to our place.
They loved it!
Sand box!
*Funny highlight: Jace got this fake icecream top stuck in his mouth, he really couldn't get it out. He wasn't crying or anything, just kind of making some weird gagging sounds. It was pretty funny!
We walked quickly through the dinosaur exhibit at the Museum of Natural history since Tyson hasn't been there yet. That's all he got to see because they were closing. But at least he's been now.

You're looking TAN! Glad you are having so much fun! I hear the humidity down there is just brutal -- I can't imagine because my pregnant self is having a hard enough time with the humidity up here!
So good to hear from you! Sounds like you are having a great time! How fun DC looks. How is Tyson enjoying his internship? Your little ones are so dang cute! Tell your fam that we say hello!
I know that park...!;) I am impressed with all the things you have seen so far! Way to get out there and see all the wonderful things to explore in DC!
Dang we miss going on adventures with you guys. I'll have to take some time tonight and post some more DC pictures on our blog. I'm glad we missed the tornado winds while at the aquarium, and I'm glad we got warnings of the humid heat we'd encounter. I think I'm still overheated and sweating from that day!
