air and space museum

on saturday, we headed to D.C. pat had gotten the girls stoked to see airplanes at the smithsonian. all the kids enjoyed the planes and the girls especially enjoyed the hands-on experiments. near the end, evan enjoyed getting a ride on jake - although i don't think the picture below illustrates that well. we were a little slow with the camera and evan was starting to slide.

after the museum, we went to pat's aunt and uncle's house for dinner. we had a lovely visit with them and appreciated their hospitality. sunday morning, we went to church with pat's family and then it was time to head home. we crossed the bay bridge towards annapolis. it was a beautiful bridge and a pretty detour. we took one more detour to my parents' house and visited with my sister on the way home. as we were driving, lily repeatedly said that she wanted to go to aunt pam's house, especially if we would tell her that we were on our way home. we all had a wonderful time!

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
