Weekend activities

It was a super busy week and I've neglected blogging about it. So tonight after settling everyone in bed including myself after listening for Bill's snoring and double checking to see if the kids were asleep, I tip toed down to the computer and am beginning to blog about the weekend. It's not like I don't need the sleep. It's just that this next week looks just as busy and if I don't write now when will it happen.


Intense consentration. Notice the tongue.


Friday night the Young Women had a basketball game. They haven't won a game this season but they are improving. It's fun to see them shoot the ball, run up and down the court, dribble and pass. They continue to make more baskets then they did at previous games. They best thing is they have a lot of fun playing a game that helps them work together.

Saturday we decided to take a trip into DC and visit an orchid show at the natural history museum. On the way from our car to the musuem we got side tracked and ended up at the african art gallery. We enjoyed looking at the art as much as looking at the Orchids. The Orchids were gorgeous. We also made our way through parts of the natural history museum. We have been through the museum before but, Lydia couldn't remember seeing all the animals. It's like visiting the zoo but none of the animals move so you get to see all of them. Here are some of the pictures from our day!

Find the similarities

Of course both with their tongues out

Studying the Zulu warrior


Above is a picture of a water fountain located on the bottom floor of the African Art Gallery As boys do they goof around. To make a long story short Willy ended up with a wet foot and pants. It wasn't funny then, but as I write it, it's "wholarious". Thinking about Willy walking the rest of the day with a wet foot just makes me giggle.

Beautiful delicate orchids

Pointing at what?
