week ending aug 2, 2009:

Week ending Aug 2, 2009: During this week we went to have lunch in DC with Daddy, visited the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, went to an outdoor concert on Granddad’s 60th birthday, and went on a pirate cruise on my 37th birthday. Lunch was frustrating because the kids are going through a picky/ungrateful stage and they seem to always get upset about their happy meal toy not being exactly what they wanted. I’ve gone so far as to actually take back treats that they complain about, but I can’t convince them to at least ACT grateful when they get something new.

The outdoor concert was fun. Grammy Carole brought a cake and we enjoyed the show. Chloe met some kids and ran all around the grounds and danced in front of the stage with them. Alex sat on our laps most of the time, but when I let him use my little digital camera, he got bold and went up and took pictures of the band.

The pirate adventure was great for the kids. They had a whole story set up that started while we were waiting to get onto the boat and continued through the whole hour ride around the Annapolis Harbor. The pictures are here: http://picasaweb.google.com/constance.phelps/PirateCruise2009#
