Trip to DC

We went out to DC this weekend to see some of my family. We had a GREAT time and it was nice for Alex to meet some of his "aunts" & "uncles". And Curt, Tracie & Ava were able to fly in too -- so it was a mini-reunion for us. :) This is my Uncle Stephen & Aunt Ellen with four of my cousins. We took the picture too late in the evening and the kids were getting pretty worn-out (in case you couldn't tell from the picture). But they did have fun with their Uncle Jared, Aunt Caroline, Aunt Abby & Aunt Hannah! :)

I just loved this picture of Alex with Aunt Ellen! Thank you, Ellen, for having us all over to your house! We had a wonderful time and it was great to see all of you! :)

Katie with all three kids -- nuts, huh?! :)

We went to the zoo yesterday and this is how Emily saw most of it -- the best view in town! :)

And this is how Alex saw some of the zoo -- it was so hot and he was so tired! It was inevitable! :)

You can kind of see the cheetah in the background -- Emily just loved seeing the animals! :)

And how great is the picture -- the panda was right up against the glass. Super-cool! :)

Just snuggling with my sweet little niece -- she was pretty tired after a long day at the zoo! :)

Alex -- all smiles, all the time! :)

The four girls -- some things never change!! :) (Thank you guys for having us -- we had a fantastic time! You're amazing hostesses!)

It was so nice having Curt & Tracie there -- made the weekend feel more complete! :)

Not too bad for an impromptu picture on a 90 degree day! :)
