Today was forecasted to be beautiful, warm, and sunny...and it was! We decided last night to head to the Natural History Museum. The boys love looking at the dinosaurs, elephant, and bear in their Goodnight Washington DC book. All morning Ethan said, "I can't wait to go to the museum."
We took the Metro to make the day a little extra special. This boy was in heaven as you can see from the ear to ear grin.
Once we got in the museum we went straight to the elephant. We let Link out of the stroller and he RAN up to the elephant. I wish I could type the sound he makes (it's an elephant sound). We went up to see the Hope Diamond and the boys kept running over to the rail to look at the elephant.
About two seconds after we took Lincoln out of the stroller, Ethan starts saying "My legs are tired." He basically wanted to ride in the stroller. SO, our two year old walked while our four year old rode in the stroller. We even had to tell him to get out to look at stuff. What a goober!
We left after about an hour and half. It was such a nice day we decided to eat on the Mall. We found a stand with hotdogs and tables. While we were sitting, Ethan decided he wanted to take my picture. I thought it was pretty good! I think he takes after his mommy! :)
We were right across from the Smithsonian Castle...which is the information building for the Smithsonian. We had never been in there, so we walked over after lunch just to look.
They basically have a sampling of display items from all the other museums. Lincoln was in the stroller, so Nate had to carry Ethan. They had a Steeler helmet from Franco Harris. Link saw the helmet and YELLS, "Daddy oo-ball hat." He knows his Daddy too well!
Outside the castle was a gorgeous garden of tulips. The first picture was taken there. Ethan took a couple more of me that were also great!
