A few weekends ago, our little family went on a hike. We started out at the Long Branch Nature Center (if you live in the No. Virginia area and haven't been there, please check it out!) and then walked along the paths...
...played pooh sticks on the bridges...
Said "Hi!" to the reflections in puddles
....went rock skipping....
...stopped for the necessary snack...
...checked out some bugs...
...we even stalked a butterfly who hung around us for a good 10 minutes...
Okay, Addie did a lot more of "riding daddy's shoulders" than actual hiking, but overall, the family hike was a lot of fun!
On a Tuesday morning Addie and I went with our friends Jen and Maya to the Live Butterfly exhibit at the Natural History Museum.
We moved Addie's carseat so we could go all together.

The inside--it was so cool! Well, no it was actually hot and humid :) You have to walk into one room, then wait until they open the next door to go in so no butterflies escape.
2 butterflies lounging.
MASSIVE butterflies on a pineapple.
Before leaving the exhibit, you have to go into another room and look into the mirrors to make sure that there are no "hitchhikers" leaving with you. Did any butterflies hitch a ride with us?
After the girls were done on the inside, they enjoyed running around outside the Smithsonian Castle.
Snack picnic!
Enjoying the sites of DC :)
And for our last field trip, Addie and I went out to Vienna to visit our friend's Sarah and Anna at one of Anna's favorite playgrounds. Addie and Anna had a great time on a merry-go-round--I haven't seen these on a playground in years!
