March 13-16, 2011 Washington DC

Day 4

Natural History Museum

Chet went with Liam back to the car
to change his diaper and
re-park in a paid garage. He lost
his phone and had no way of
reaching Gabriel & myself.
I called him a few times and was getting
worried when I turned around and
he and Liam were standing
behind us. HOW did they
find us in that huge museum?!
I still find that impressive.

While it was just Gabriel & myself
we went to see the Dinosaurs and
I've never had so much FUN
looking at Dinosaurs in my
entire life as I did with my son on
this day! He knew the names &
got so excited when we saw them.
He attracted some attention, as I'm
sure you can imagine;) People were
so impressed that he knew Dino. names
and told me repeatedly how "cute"
he was & how sweet his little voice sounded.
I was overflowing with pride!
My son was well behaved, interested,
talkative, expressive, knowledgeable,
and just adorable (had to say it!).

After visiting the Zoo it was
strange to see stuffed animals but
the boys thought they were neat.
Gabriel is doing his Lion(?)
impression...I think.
We saw a Lion at the Zoo
standing up on a big rock
ROARING and it was all
roaring from Gabriel after that;)

It's about to storm.

Gabriel got a toy Zebra from the
gift shop and he carried it all day.
He loves animals!
He especially loves Safari animals.

We were walking on the gravel trail
up the Mall and Gabriel
had his Zebra in his hand. He
was making it "walk" along the path.
The toy Zebra was "eating"
rocks and dirt. There was no
fish in sight but suddenly.
He started shouting, "Nemo!"

He then went on and on about Nemo
being lost and Daddy and...
It was HILARIOUS!!
People walking by were entertained but
not as much as we were.
He's such a dramatic kid!
I love this about him.

Liam in the stroller
taking the opportunity to further
prove to his parents that he
is the BEST baby in the world!
He's so chill. He's so happy.
He's so loving. He's such a joy!

There we are again...
the "typical American family"...LOL!

Mommy wearing Liam in
the Hotsling carrier...love it!

All in all it was a great trip!
We crammed a lot of fun into
4 days & Chet did well
at his poster presentation.
