Happy 261st Birthday Alexandria!

The family had visitors this weekend from far North - Uncle Wally, Aunt Karen, and cousin Molly. By Saturday morning the rain had dissipated and the family headed down to the waterfront to check out the Alexandria birthday celebrations. Above Evie checks out the scene and the "choo choo" tracks that run along the park. The family ended the day with wine & cheese at Cheesetique, custard and sorbet at the Dairy Godmother, and fireworks on the waterfront (which had to be delayed every time an airplane crossed the Potomac on the way to National Airport). The girls slept soundly on the stroller rides home, as did the mommies and daddies.

Uncle Wally and Molly enjoy the music by the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra. Molly loved crawling around on the grass.

Evie was very impressed with her "sparkler" balloon.

She decides to share the balloon with cousin Molly.
Uh oh. If you squeeze the balloon, all the air comes out, the girls discover.

Hee hee, that is funny, thinks Molly. Evie is trying to figure out the science behind the balloons. Well, that lasted about 10 minutes.


Evie shows off her beautiful butterfly that she painted at a craft table. What an artiste!
