September 27, 2007 And the world goes round and round

Funny how fast time goes by... You would think having class just 2 days a week and the rest of my days "free" (okay not really free but you know what I mean) that I could get more done like say, keep up with this blog. But the truth of the matter is I'm always rushing! So here is the latest in the Flynn household:

Last Friday we took the kids to "feed the ducks", their version anyway. Mike and I went to the World War II Memorial. We weren't really all that impressed I'm sad to say. All the states are represented by the exact same pillar with the exact same wreath. The only difference is the state name on the wreath. There is, of course, water and an archway entrance but really nothing to express WWII. I don't know... kind of a let down. But still a great photo op of the kids feeding the ducks!

After the kids fed the ducks we went to the memorial for the signers of the declaration of independece as noted above.

Isn't it beautiful? You cross a bridge to a tiny island filled with geese!

And see this sign... if should read DO NOT ENTER (UNLESS YOUR NAME IS FLYNN).

This is the area that the park police hold the police horses in. There are a number of stalls, a ring to ride and hay to eat. How do I know this you ask? Because they let us in!!!!!

The horses BIG mouths were scary at first! But all the horses were really friendly and LOVED the attention. The kids were feeding them hay one piece at a time. Before we left the nice police woman that let us in gave each of the kids a horseshoe. That was a HUGE hit! I'm gonna hang them next to one of the photos of them feeding the horses in thier room.

This adventure was, of course, Papa's idea.

WE LOVE YOU PAPA!!!!!
