Weekends II

The second bit of weekend fun was a visit from the brogan clan. its always great to spend time with them and its amazing how evan and AJ (who are 6 weeks apart) are starting to interract.

What better place to go with three little boys on a sunny day than Gravelly Point. All the boys love airplanes, and they needed to run off some energy so it was perfect fit.



There were lots of planes to watch, bubbles to blow and snacks to eat...

seriously, the planes are LOW and CLOSE...



The view the other way is pretty good too...









Fascinated by nature...for Ryan, cut grass; Evan - a dandelion...







Before it was time to go, AJ got one more shot at the bubbles, and Evan took the express route back to the car...

Weekends

OK, so most of you are posting your Easter pictures right about now. I am just not that on top of things so these are a little bit older. We had a couple of great weekends recently that we can catch up on.

That is Ryan, taking my picture with his camera shirt :)

First, we hit the Mall a couple weeks ago for the kite festival and a visit with some family.

You live around DC for a long time and all of these monuments start to become routine. When you take a step back and think, though, it really is amazing.



We met up with my brother and parents and counsin. Ryan and Anna went for a ride on the carousel and then played a great game of hide and seek.



Hard to find places to hide on the mall, but Ryan did his best...



Next it was off to fly a kite. Lots of running, laughing and wrestling ensued....



Ryan's kite is the tie-dyed one in the foreground...







I probably should have stopped this game a little bit sooner...



but it turns out that Evan really enjoyed it...

16 Months

The little dude is 16 months old now. He had a bit of help celebrating with AJ who was in town visit for the weekend. (oh, ueah, his parents - keith and nathalie - we here to :)



AJ is only 6 weeks older than E but the two of them are really different kids. AJ is ginormous compared to Evan, and much more of a talker while Evan is a bit more of a daredevil.







We had a great weekend with the Brogans - topped of with a trip to Gravelly Point to get buzzed by the planes coming in and out of DCA.

I would also be remiss - if i didn't mention that seven years ago today, Lisa agreed to put up with me for life :) I love you, sweetheart.
