Silver Spring and beyond...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and since arriving in Silver Spring a little more than a week ago, we have done so many things that the thought of blogging about all of it seems impossible to me.. so here are thousands of words (in pictures) and a few real words too.

We live about a mile and a half from the temple.












The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History - the butterfly house was very cool!

Curly and Lou's birthday countdown chains. Notice Curly's shirt. She has decided that she like's Lou's clothes better than her own and is modeling Lou's sundress.














- My close friend, Jill, lives out here and I have been able to do things with her several times. She came with us to the museum and we visited her in Virginia. The girls adore her!










We took a tour of the Supreme Court, walked along the National Mall, and enjoyed the flowers at the National Botanic Gardens.











Our ant infestation! We are working really hard to get rid of them... at least they aren't cockroaches!















The National Air and Space Museum



Lou's first taste of ice cream at the NASM. She's a fan!Lincoln Memorial. We have very few pictures with the girls because they are either asleep or too grumpy to participate in a picture.
