So Traci and the kids are in their final days here in D.C. They'll be heading to Washington State for three weeks or so and then on to SLC on the 5th July. I'll join them there soon after. Our time here in D.C. has been fantastic and while we're ready to get on to the next adventure we will definitely miss it here. I thought I'd post a few photos from recent days to wrap up Traci and the kids' time here.
We've had some tickets to Hershey amusement park for a while now and so a week ago we woke up and realized they were going to go to waste if we didn't use them. So we jumped in the car and raced to Hershey. We had a great time even though it was hotter than the surface of the sun. Here's Abe and his Mom playing it cool on a ride.
Maggie loved driving the race cars. As you can see she was all business.
Ok, so it's no Mickey Mouse. Amazing that the kids are smiling. It honestly was 96 degrees with very high humidity.
We arrived back to the apartment around midnight. It took Traci and I a couple of minutes to get Simon and a few things from the car. Abe and Viv didn't have a key to the building so they made due.
I have no explanation for this other than the kids love Lego Star Wars figures and they love Simon. So, why not?
Every year they hold a kite flying festival at the National Mall. Abe found out about it and would have died a thousand deaths if he hadn't been able to attend. I wish I had a better picture because it was amazing. Hundreds of kites everywhere. This picture was taken by the designated area for competitive kite fighting. It was pretty cool.
So the Browns came to visit and we had a great time. This is the subway trip home after a long day of sightseeing. Mag, Daniel, and Abe (partially visible) all out cold.
I love it when babies find something hilarious.
Things get pretty spiritual at the McKay house when the missionaries come over.
We took the kids out of school at the beginning of May. Traci spent each day homeschooling and taking them on as many field trips as possible. One of the stops was the National Cathedral. It's an incredibly fascinating and beautiful building.
Carrie and Kim have both posted photos of the mini-reunion in Philly. One day wasn't enough time with Grandma but the kids took what they could get.
We made one stop on the way back to D.C.
Ok, so not my safest driving moment but I couldn't resist. The temple really does come out of nowhere.
This was too good, I had to post it. We love "So You Think You Can Dance". Maggie fancies herself quite the dancer. I think with good reason.
Love you guys, see you in SLC in a few weeks!
