Family Fun

While in Virginia this month, we went to one of those toy stores where they have a lot of toys out for kids to play with while shopping.  I found out that Anna likes trains and Cecilia has officially reached the age where she actually plays with dollhouses.  Once she zeroed in on the dollhouse, she was hooked—playing with the dolls, putting them to bed, etc.  Joe made the comment that I should probably step up my plan to build her dollhouse.  Hmmm….would it be possible to build one by Christmas?

So, the other thing that I witnessed for the first time in our travels was the show “Yo-Gabba-Gabba.”  We don’t have cable so I’ve never actually seen this before and all that I can say is, no need to get cable any time soon.  I hear about kids being addicted to this show and I feel really bad for those parents.  I’ve never done drugs, but I have to imagine that this is what an acid trip may be like.  So. Bad.  Check it out on YouTube if you dare.

We also managed to find time to go to the Air & Space museum at the Hazy Center.  I have to think that I am not normal in that one of the coolest items on display was a section cut of landing gear strut and, of course, the blackbird.  This is a cool photo from that day:

But, the best part of the trip was being able to see my in-laws and watching Cecilia and Anna play with them and tear apart their house.  Anna got to go on a tractor ride and Cecilia had crayons for coloring so all were happy.  Hopefully, we can make it back again soon.
