We were lucky enough to get to spend half of the day yesterday with Uncle Chad!

I also got to see Benjamin practice his reading a bit - that was good. Just think of what he'll know once he learns how to read!

We'd enjoy seeing the national history museum.
Also, if there is a childrens museum out there we'd like to go.
I would be fun to do things like frizbee golf that are free and where the little boys can participate
