Angry feet and blisters.....








































































































































































Jacob told me yesterday that his feet were angry. Well today my feet are angry!! David has blisters, Jacob and I have the start of blisters. Michael and Anthony seem okay.
We met friends at the air and space museum this morning. Jolee Faison and family came from North Carolina and Karen Dickereson and Family came from Virginia. Between us we had 10 kids to keep up with. The older kids kept up with the little kids so everything worked out well. I thought the best room there was the Wright Brothers room. They had an original plane and a bicycle built by them. We saw an IMAX movie about the sun in 3D. And took lots of pictures of the kids. We also saw an exhibit of paintings by astronaut Allen Bean. He uses things from his space mission to make his paintings. We decided we wanted to do an art project like that in the fall.


Later we all went over to the Museum of Natural History. Got to see the hope Diamond. The Hall of Bones was VERY cool. We got there 10 minutes to late to go into the forensics lab. The kids were bummed.
After all our friends left we decided to walk down to the Washington Monument again to go to the ranger station for Junior Ranger program. That was the big mistake, we were all moving very slow on the way back. Hopefully our feet will forgive us by morning :)
