Clarendon Day

On Saturday, we decided to take the boys to Clarendon Day. We've

gone every year since Nate was a baby. Each year his willingness
(and ability) to try new things increases.

This year he decided to try a blowup obstacle course.

Sean apparently thinks he's five as well. He insisted he was going to
do it and nothing was going to stop him. Except, of course, the fact
that he couldn't actually do it...

So mommy got the chance to do the obstacle course in order to get Sean out.

"Joe Cool" after conquering the course.

Mommy enjoying her reward - a beer.

Nate's next endeavor did not go quite as well. This is as high as he went.

Meanwhile, Sean entertained himself watching the "boats".

What Nate doesn't realize is that in a year, Sean will be the winner
in these wrestling matches...

Sean's first day of preschool

Doesn't he look so happy? This was before he realized what preschool
really was...

Our fun Saturday

Nate was very proud of his soccer uniform. He even wore cleats!

Sean still thinks he belongs on the team (and honestly, he can kick better than a lot of the kids on the team).

Nate did a great job on the defensive end, but is certainly not an aggressive player. Of course, it was mostly "pack ball" LOL.

Number 18 is going to be an awesome player someday. She was quite the little fireball today and left most of the bigger guys in the dust (not to mention being darned good with the ball).

After the game, we headed out to White's Ferry for a trip across the Potomac River.

They can fit about 21 cars on the boat for the 10ish minute trip. Maryland won't allow a bridge to be built, so this is one of the few ways to get across into Loudoun County.

Don't we look excited to be riding across the river in our hot car? We headed to a wine festival at Tarara vineyards next, but it was so hot, we were all pretty cranky in about an hour.
