Washington DC

Here are some pictures of our trip to washington DC.

They had a lot of free stuff, We weren't expect it. They had real henna tattoos, I LOVED THEM.
Mark got some too.


They look so cool. Once they dry they become an dark orange color.



they had awesome food. Some was free but the best one you had to pay for.




Eko knows how to peel oranges now.


We had to sit for a few hours to wait for the fireworks. Eko just watched movies.


then eko got bored so i let him take pictures of daddy and he did great. he did better than adults i have asked to use my camera.

4th of july, part one

For the 4th of July weekend we went to washington DC and even tho Boston's fireworks were better last year "We still had the time of our lives." We Did so much and took way to many pictures so I will divided onto different post. Here is the fireworks part.

We were a little afraid to be out and about in a crowded place with a toddler who no longer uses diapers but eko did great. we were on the road for 4 days and he had no accidents but we did have to introduce him to John. We had to disinfect eko from head to toes after that.

we had to sit for a long time to wait for the fireworks so mark played some music for us.

When we got there it was not to full but by the time we left, it was packed.

It was so HOT. Poor eko was sweating buckets. we gave him a small fan and he kept putting it on his belly to make himself feel better.

Eko was so tired after a full day of walking that he fell asleep right before the fireworks started. Mark caught me sleeping next to eko. eko woke up freaked out when the fireworks began.
look at his tire face, this is after he started crying.
the cool fireworks behind the washington monument
After the fireworks we stayed at our friend robert's place and eko almost killed his dog with hugs.

One last day at the beach!

So as some of you guys may know, We are going back to utah for family reasons. We will be leaving back to utah in about 32 hours. Yesterday we decided to go do some family time before we leave the great virginia beach.

Eko learned to eat with chap sticks and he loves it and is pretty good at it too.

We also got to spend some fun time at the beach. Eko use to hate the waves but he loves it now. And he still goes crazy in the sand. I got my hand cut by a STING RAY. It was not to big but It still scared me. We had a blast at the beach and walking the boardwalk.
We order some philly cheese stakes and they were sooo good.
And to end the day we got some cool tattoos.
Mark's tattoo looks mess up but we fixed it and it looks real now.
