Doug arrived yesterday (woo hoo! yea for back-up!). In Bode's (many) tired moments, he has asked "where is my daddy?" and stated that he wants to "go home to my daddy." He (they) just have a very fun, involved father. And as great as I may be (i hope), i just don't rough-house and play like he does. And he is sorely missed when we're apart.
Saturday, we spent the day at the National Air and Space Museum in Dulles, Virginia. I had considered going downtown, in large part so the boys could ride the Metro, but decided to check out this one closer to my parents' house. It did not disappoint.
It was a huge hangar filled with planes, helicopters, gliders; etc. The boys got to climb inside a Cessna for a few minutes and enjoyed moving the joysticks back and forth (with much force! the docent kept stressing moving it lightly, but that's just not in Keegen's vocab!). Bode and Doug took a ride in a flight simulator. I was afraid Bode would want out as soon as the ride started, but he loved it! We ate a little McDonald's (conveniently in the museum), watched the planes land at Dulles through the McD's window, played at the gift shop, rode the elevator up and down a couple times, ran up and down the ramps and continued to check out all the displays. It was a great museum. Not too busy. So much to see. It's worth checking out if you have kids who love planes like mine do!

We were just saying that we're going to have to take the kids there soon! I'm glad it was fun.
What fun! We miss you! I have lots and lots and lots to fill you in on.
I have to ditto Cami. We've heard that it is worth going. Glad it was fun for you!
