A few weeks ago – I know, I am behind on posts – we made a trip to Philadelphia for cousin Patrick and Nicole’s wedding. Before heading from the hotel to church, we took some family pictures, since everyone was together and looking oh so nice.

Every spring, at the end of the semester, Georgetown has a big carnival day on the main quad. I was there a few years ago, but since I don’t work on Fridays any more, I hadn’t gone in a while. But, they have kids hour for the inflatables for the first hour, so Reagan and I took a drive over to play. The bounce house and the big dogs would have been enough, but we also heard the pep band, had some cotton candy, and ran around a classroom.
The biggest Jack the Bulldog. We also saw the character, but only waved and didn’t want to get too close, though he was a big help for the pep band. We didn’t see the real dog, who usually shows up at these things.
She only made it a few blocks in the car before she crashed! We’ll definitely go back next year.
Tim has been making blueberry pancakes for breakfast quite a bit recently. Reagan likes to help cook, so on Friday, she helped with the milk and mixing and then we all enjoyed a delicious breakfast.
We had a good Easter day. Reagan and I spent the morning eating candy from her Easter basket, listening to our new Rocknoceros cds, finally dyeing our eggs, and playing at the playground.
Blue was her favorite. We only made the purple, because I didn’t like having so many blue eggs, so the last one went in the pink, too.
After a nap for Reagan and Tim finally getting home from a bachelor party, we got dinner together and had some friends over for a little egg hunt in the basement and a delicious dinner.
Can you spot the ‘hidden’ egg?
7 minutes later… We eventually gave them a hint on that one.
And, thank you for the dress, Sophie. It was perfect.
Though it’s getting warmer, Saturday was a little dreary, so we headed for a somewhat indoor activity – the toddler puppet show at Glen Echo Park with Jack and his mom, Jennifer. Though we’ve lived in DC for nearly 8 years and we’ve driven past this park many times, we had never actually gone. It’s a 100+ year old park that has been kept up really well and has a lot of events and activities.
We saw a show about penguins and they ice skated, jumped, juggled, and jumped around some more. Reagan and Jack were completely enthralled and we will definitely be back to see another show and hopefully ride the 90 year old carousel.
(I know, her molars are coming in and her teeth are killing her.)
Despite the dreariness, we spent some time playing on the playground and even had fun on the swings and running around with Jack.
