Idiart Visit

 What a wonderful few days we have had.  It's been so fun to have our cousins visiting.  Hannah spent three days touring in DC with them and really enjoyed it.  She got to see some things we haven't seen so far including an art museum, the Holocaust museum, the library of congress and the capital building.  She got along well with Rachel and Emma and she and Emma went to mutual last night and had a lot of fun doing service and hanging out with friends.
 Yesterday Lu and I joined the tour group as well :) We went to the Jefferson Memorial then walked around the tidal basin and saw the FDR and MLK memorials.  It was tons of fun.  I hadn't seen either of the last two and found them very touching.  The kids were troopers and walked with little complaining, they were fortified by Damian buying ice cream for them.


 lunch break.  Silly Lu made us all laugh.  She is a character!
 We stopped by the American History Museum.  Nina and Lu were thrilled to see another museum :)
 Our last stop of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving.  It was interesting and the children got fun souvenirs (also helpful when trying to rally the troops).

Nina, Rachel, Josh, Hannah, grace, Emma and Ben
Last night the adults went out to dinner while Josh baby sat.  The kids had gone swimming and then settled down to watch a movie.  Josh also had them read scriptures and have prayers so they were all ready for bed when we got home from dinner. 

Today they left :(  We had a great time and were sad sad sad to see them leave.
