auntbijouHello dearies!
On Wednesday, we went to the zoo withfailuresofine. It was a great deal of fun, and the Impossible Son keeps talking longingly of going back. I don't know if it's to see the animals, or just so he can ride on the Metro again!
I think my rambunctious offspring might have overwhelmedfailuresofine a bit. Heck, sometimes they overwhelm me, so I can't blame him! They liked him, though, and as we were leaving, the Impertinent Daughter proclaimed him my fourth child, so apparently, you have been adopted!!
Here is a picture of the suspects...
As you can all see, I am wearing a very stylish and happenin' stuffed cheetah on my head, thanks to the Impossible Son. And that's the Impertinent One behind us, tossing her stuffed lemur into the air.
Yesterday, we went to Arlington National Cemetery, which was overwhelming for many reasons. One, because we walked the entire way there!! And two, because we walked around the cemetery! As you can see, I survived, though I have not surprisingly actually gone down one size in clothing!!
*is stunned*
The Husbandly One was looking for the grave of his great-aunt, who was a Navy nurse during World War II, and had been buried there sometime in the sixties or seventies. Needless to say, without more specific information than that, we didn't find her. But we did see Kennedy's grave, and the Tomb of the Unknowns, and Auntie's nose got slightly sunburned, the kids were tired enough to slow down to our speed, and we rode the Metro back! A good time was had by all!
Setting out on the Hike...
The Impertinent One doing her imitation of a Japanese school-girl...
Auntie and Miss Priss taking a bit of a rest (she didn't need the rest, she was trying to make me sit down and admit I was tired and stay in one spot)...
Today, we go to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. and so forth. We will see what we will see! Let's just hope Auntie's legs hold out!!
