More Bike Riding

We put together Leo's bike on friday and it is non-stop bike riding. If they are not already outside riding their bikes they are asking if they can! Leo can not get enough. He rides for about an hour, needs a 5 minute break, and he is ready to go again. All the other activities of the day are just distractions!

Where's Patrick?

Our "distractions" of the day included breakfast in the morning with Doris and Patrick. I had brought back (Puyallup) fair scone mix and jam from Seattle for Doris and instead of giving her the mix I offered to make the scones for her so that was the focus of our breakfast but we also had sausage, eggs, pancakes and fruit salad. Then the boys went out to ride their bikes some more. After riding bikes we raced over to the Air and Space Museum out at Dulles airport. We didn't have too long to spend out there because Patrick has a work dinner tonight (after all he did come to work) but it is such a great place we wanted to give him a tease so that he'll want to come back.

I love the Air and Space museum at Dulles. I like it because it is really, really big so it never feels crowded, there are great exhibits (and I'm not even an aircraft lover), and the kids can have fun and be kids (if you know what I mean) and remain unnoticed. They can talk loudly, run every once in a while, be silly and see cool exhibits (transformers, star wars, space shuttle, helicopters).
