Five Backpacks

Thursday, January 21, 2010


Over the recent long weekend, we were thrilled to have our first official visitors here in DC!!! Some of our very best friends, Tim and Ashley and little Xavier were able to come a see us!!! We had such a blast, and did our first REAL outing into DC since we got here. We did tons of things, including seeing the Capitol, Washington Monument, Lincoln Monument, WWI, WWII, Vietnam and Korean War Monuments, The National Air and Space Museum, Arlington National Cemetery, and the Washington DC LDS Temple. On top of that we also enjoyed tons of fun times and Beatles Rockband playing! The boys were loving having their buddy to play with, and they definitely got out tons of energy together! We had a wonderful time and miss them already! Also to remind everyone else, you're invited to come as well whenever you want!!




the boys and President Lincoln (Ronan slept through it this time I guess:)
Just getting ready to stroll the National Mall
Xavier and Porter racing down the National Mall (great for getting out their energy!)

Me and Amelia (the red airplane behind us was hers, for her first couple important flights obviously-not the one that vanished)
the Spirit of St. Louis
the 1903 Wright Flyer-aka the first airplane!! (and the back of Tim)

the boys first snowball fight
just riding the metro
cute picture of Porter at the Temple
also, not quite sure what was up with my camera for some of these pictures-quality is messed up for some reason...I only had my small camera, will have to figure out what happened or just take my good one with me from now on. hmmm..... sorry

We were thinking of moving the retreat to your place. Hope that's okay! :D
