July 4th with Jackie and Jason!

Another great Holiday Weekend was spent with Jackie and Jason. We had a great time relaxing in the sun, eating (and eating and eating), and spending time with Jackie and Jason before Thanksgiving :)

Here's Jason - manning the grill. Chicken on a stick. Beef on a stick. Shrimp on a stick.

Jackie worked with Katie on her "smiling with her eyes." ANTM here we come!

Our gracious hosts.

The one who gave big hugs and kisses.

Seesters.

We had a fun Sunday afternoon at Lake Leona. It had a beach, splash pad, and a nice snack bar. Thanks for the idea, Verns.

Wow! We actually had someone to take a picture of us! Thanks, Jackie.

We ended Sunday night with some sparklers.

Mikey loves doing sparklers.

Katie thought the fireworks from the neighbors were too loud.

Happy Birthday, America!

Ready and armed with 3-D glasses!

We met DORA!!!!!

Graduation Caps - moving onward and upward to 1st grade!

Thought T would like this one -- Ian's class went to the Museum of Natural History a couple weeks ago with his class.

First 5k!

I did it! I finally did a 5k. It was a beautiful day in Rochester Hills, and a perfect day to run cross country... through the woods, over a couple small bridges, over grassy fields... and I didn't fall! I tripped a couple times, but stayed on track and finished in 30:38 :)

That's me! #336

It's official - I have a chip on my shoe!

(I had to ask where to put it.)

Stretching...

On the trail about 1.5 miles into the run.

Next 5k will hopefully be on paved roads!

Washington DC 2011

Nationals Baseball, Memorial Day Weekend.

Jason at the Metro Station - On the way out of Arlington Cemetery.

Dinner and Drinks with Rick. Even after a 12 year hiatus, it was just like old times.

6/5... took a tourist walk that lasted over 3 hrs. I saw EVERYTHING!
Here are some highlights.

Lincoln Memorial

From inside the Jefferson Memorial.
I tried to get the Washington Monument in the background, but people were looking at me funny.

After seeing so much, I decided that the US Capitol wasn't too far off.
Maybe another 20 minutes??? I can do it!

Made it to another reflection pool....I wanted to jump in... almost to the Capitol.

I MADE IT!!! Now only 3 miles back to the hotel. YIKES.
