Glover Park Day

We walked over to Glover Park (the name of our neighborhood in D.C.) Day this morning. Naturally, the girls ignored all the live music, local food, and tchotchke-offering vendor tables and headed straight to the playground. After enjoying a heavy dose of swings, they set up shop in the sandbox.

Bee a-mazed

That's all Lily's doing--with nary a hesitation. She clearly has a bright future as a laboratory mouse.

Get the folk out of here

Today we went to the 29th Annual Washington Folk Festival in nearby Glen Echo Park. It featured lots of fun music, storytelling, and arts and crafts. Lily's favorite part was the carousel, which is there at the park all the time of course, but she did take a few turns around the dance floor with her old man.

We didn't actually see these guys, but this picture was on the festival's web site, so it gives you an idea of the entertainment.

As ever, Amalia was an appreciative audience.

Just us girls

Last Sunday, I took the girls to the local tot lot (next to our neighborhood elementary school, where Lily will go to Pre-K in the fall!) while Andy golfed.

What is it about toilet paper?

How freight rail works

The Society of Women Engineers would be proud.

Great performances

You gotta love Harry.

Lily was a bit distracted during this portion.


This clip is a bit longer -- see if you can count how many times Lily's leotard rides up.
