We had big plans for today! First we were going to the zoo, then to the Redskins Park for their open practice for training camp. Tonight I am filling out my application for overschedulers annonmyous. I don't know why I fill the need to plan out and schedule every free minute so that we are constantly on the go when Lance is home. Anyway, today I had our day so full I had to get up a 6!
The weather wasn't cooperating when we woke up so we thought thatour plans were a wash out but things cleared up a bit so we decided to give it a time. We started out around 8:30am for the metro station. Quinn absolutely loves riding the metro so she really enjoyed it! There were some delays so it took us a while longer than usual to get in.
We got to the zoo around 10 and wentto the elephants. Quinn enjoyed watchingthe elephant get hosed and bathed, she thinks it is so funny. Reagan was even watching closely and smiling. We were able to see a good bit of animals which was nice considering it was 90 and humid! Quinn enjoyed seeing the apes, lions, tigers, sea lions, cows, and her favorite on this trip was the Mommy Panda Bear. All the bears were sleeping but they were out at least. There weren't many people and we had plotted our route (again...my obessive need to plan everything) so we were able to see everything pretty quickly. By 1:30 we were all hot, tired and ready to head back out. Just as we were getting to the metro we heard thunder.
By the time we got back out it had stormed so we were unsure about the Redskins practice, which was scheduled at 4. The farther out we drove the darker it got. By the time we arrivedatthe field it was pouring and it had been cancelled. Quinn and Lance were very disappointed, Quinn had even learned part of the fight song! We ended up soming home and had and early dinner.
We wanted to share Quinn's recent accomplishment's. I may have mentioned before that she is learning opposites and knows 7 or 8. She has also learned her right and left, she picked this up really quickly. Her preschool ends summer camp and gets back into the regular cirriculam the day after Labor Day. Quinn is excited to start wearing her uniform again which makes laundry easier!
Attached are some pictures of Reagan getting her favorite "toy" upstairs. Anytime we are upstairs she goes straght to the girls bathroom, gets in Quinn's stepstool and retrieves a medicine dropper and medicine to carry around with her, she loves it.
Time to unpack from our day of fun!
