Dylan couldn't beleive that splashing was okay here, he always hears no splashing in the bath so he had a BLAST splashing here.

He liked watching Alissa and her friends Alexa playing in the waterfall but he was scared to go in it himself.

Splish, Splash, Splosh!

Ali and her very best friend Alexa.

"It's me, I'm D-man!"

Mom, Wayne and the boys with Amber before she flies out to North Carolina, back for training.

Dylan and Alissa with Auntie.

Kellin, Me, Amber and Wayne and Will, thought we should take one since we wont all be together for a while.

There were better pics than this one but this one pretty accurately captures us :)

The birthday Princess!!

She got so many cute outfits and toys that she'd "been dying for" HAHA

Blowing out her candles on her NARNIA cake

A cute coat! She actually liked getting clothes this year, that a change from previous birthdays :)

Uncle William, Ali and Uncle Wayne

Shes learning along with Midnight how to ride :)

Dylan's always working, trying to help Papa Dave out with the horses and chores :)

He's a little more hesitant to ride than Alissa is.

Shes doing a pretend rope swing in the air right here, so she can be a REAL cowgirl.

Pretty miss ALI

D-man and papa :)

Blowing out the candles on his spongebob cake.

YUMM cake!

He got so many toys he didn't know what to do, he wanted them all open right this second :)

Me in front of Jefferson's home! I was so excited, he's my favorite president EVER :) His home was amazing. We weren't permitted to take photos inside which was a shame because the art, the artifacts, the inventions he had were AMAZING!

Grama at Monticello looking out at some of the gardens :)

The gardens, BEAUTIFUL!

Grandpa and Thomas, they're old buddies :)

Me standing in the back of Monticello :)

Mt. Vernon, home of George and Martha Washington :) It was gorgeous there, and so open, with rolling hills and acres of farmland.
The Washington's tomb.

The house from the back, and Me and Grampa in front of it.

Me on the back porch of the house, overlooking the Potomac River.

Me in front of my 2nd favorite spot of our trip - The Jefferson Memorial, my first favorite being Jeffersons home MONTICELLO!

T-Rex at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum.

Arlington National Cemetery was moving and astonishing all at once.

Grama, Me and Grampa in front of St. Patricks church, the oldest church in DC. In real life it had gorgeous stained glass and gargoyles and detail but in the picture it didn't show up very well.

Grampa Rick looking at THE Magna Carta.

Me, Grama and her friend Susan, who was in DC for a medical convention the same time as us :) She showed us how to use the subway :) Thanks SUSAN!

Me and Grampa :) Ready 2 go out for dinner!

Me and Grama, in line at the Capitol, waiting for our tour to begin.

The Lincoln Memorial was amazing.

This is the fountain and in the distance one of the many columns at the WWII memorial, it was absolutely beautiful.
