Dandelion Wishes

The McGinns in DC

 The McGinns came for a visit to DC!
Saturday evening they came by to chow on a Cinco De Mayo feast,  bet on their favorite Kentucky Derby horse, and make wishes upon the Super Moon. 

We loved every minute of having them here.

On Sunday, we met Bball and family in DC at the Natural History Museum.

We stopped by the Rose Garden to take some shots before going in.

I'm not sure when these pictures I keep taking - of Lucy looking so serious and Lola looking so upset- will ever stop being so funny to me. But it's certainly not today.

In the Butterfly Garden:

Carousel ride:

Ahhh... She finds happiness at last!

Soccer for Lola

 Lola was very geared up and excited for her first soccer lessons to begin (about a month ago). It turns out, however, that Lola was unaware of the no hands rule. With such restrictions placed upon her, she's currently not so jazzed about lessons... or the sport in general. 

It all seems very inefficient to her. 

The Saturday afternoon lessons will be over at the end of this month. 

Maybe we'll try again when she's 6... or 12.

 Just in case you're curious, Lola's holding a dental instrument (the one with the round mirror on the end of it) given to her from the dentist. Essential for all good soccer players to carry. Of course.

And, never to be forgotten, Lucy was there. With bells on!

Third Day at Disney

 Most of our third day at Disney was spent in Animal Kingdom. We went on a real safari ride and saw a magnificent live performance of the Lion King. 

 (Mr Bob!)

 After Animal Kingdom, we went back to Hollywood Studios for a fun Buzz Lightyear ride 

and a 3D Muppets movie.

Our amazing tour guide, Mr. Bob, was even better than the Easter Bunny! 

He made our time at Disney so smooth, easy and enjoyable.

The next and final morning we spent at the hotel pool. There is much magic to be found in a gigantic pool with a water slide too!

Then back to reality we flew. Such an unforgettable trip!
