Snacks at the Washington Monument

After the White House, we walked south to the National Mall and stopped for a snack of fruit snacks in the shade of some trees near the Washington Monument. It was warm but dry and breezy -- perfect for a day out.

Boys at the White House

First stop on the Pierces' Washington tour: the White House. By this time, Cam had already learned two new inappropriate words, thanks to the patrons of the DC Metro system.

Arthur and Libby

She doesn't quite have the focusing thing down yet, but she does like to smile at her daddy.

Boys in the Pool

We spent several hours in the pool on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (this morning). Ian decided he liked using the floaty ring to kick about, though he tended to stay where he could touch the bottom, and Cam, with the addition of a snorkel, became quite the underwater explorer, though he hasn't quite gotten the hang of diving yet.

Making "Music" with Elena

We spent Memorial Day weekend in Durham and on Saturday morning visited the Museum of Life and Science, as we did back in November.

Cam & Ian's Time Machine

I think he picked this idea up from Calvin and Hobbes. When inverted, the time machine becomes a highly functional transmogrification machine.
