Last weekend, my best friend came into town. We hadn't seen each other since 1997, so our families got together and spent time touring DC. We had such a blast! Here are some shots:
First off, the day started with a beautiful sunrise
B & K climbing a display at the Natural History Museum. Shhhhh don't tell anybody. :)
In the insect area. If you look closely, K has a bright blue caterpillar on her hand near her thumb (it almost looks like part of her shirt). She had no problem holding it and letting it crawl on her hand.
She did however have a huge problem with the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach Daddy was holding...
Here's my friend and I with my tadpoles.
A picture of all our kids together. Why does there always have to be one in every bunch that tries to escape, and why is it always my child?
The salt water tank in the Ocean room
Chilling out waiting for dinner; both her family and mine
K in a flower bed

Looks like a very happy time...so glad you captured it in film :)

That 'Roach was WAY too close for my comfort! I commend you for getting so close to even snap the picture!
