Arlington National Cemetery

On our trip to Washington, D.C., last month, we visited Arlington National Cemetery for the first time. I could have never imagined how many graves there were without seeing it. They seem to go on forever.

Changing of the guard

The cemetery is really beautiful with gorgeous trees and great views of the city.

Great Wolf Lodge Waterpark

We had such an awesome day at the waterpark on Monday. We went with our homeschool friends. It wasn't crowded at all and the kids had so much fun together.

The girls, their friend, and I are under this water.

Colin decided to try this without using the rope. Not a good idea.

He loved standing here and spraying people.

She loved sitting under this water thing.

 

 

Our Visit to Maine

This is my final post about our trip to Maine so it's just a hodgepodge of pictures.

I've already posted about visiting the Maine Wildlife Park, going to a chocolate factory, and seeing the beautiful lighthouses.

 

Len Libby Chocolates and Candies

This was at the top of the kids' list of things to do when we were planning. They just had to see the moose.

The girls got to touch lobsters and starfish.

Harbor where we had lunch one day

 

This is where Colin spent most of his time during our week in Maine. I was worried he would feel like he was missing out if we did things with the girls while he was at camp. He was so excited to go to camp every day and was sad when it over. He just loved it.
