Colin turned double 1s this year and was very much excited for his baseball-themed birthday with friends! His actual birthday was just days later as he enjoyed some freshly baked Trade Joe’s croissants, a day at school, some pitching practice and a night out at Melting Pot to cap the day!
Eight is Great at Cox Farms
Another fall visit (the 8th to be exact) at Cox Farms under our belt, and it was a beautiful fall day for sure! The sun was shining, the boys were running around, and all was great (until legs were tired of course). Here are some of the highlights!
Go DC United!
It took a while, but our first pro soccer adventure was an up-and-down 90 minutes, where DC scored twice – but once taken away due to offsides and once the ref didn’t see it (a player blocked the ball but was standing inside the goal) – so the game ended in a draw. With Dippin’…
A New Great Wolf
After more than a decade, we visited a newly opened Great Wolf with great friends! It was hard to stray from our original favorite, but this one had some plusses for sure – including being a fair bit closer to home and having friends to spend time with!
Labor Day in P-A
We hopped in the car this Labor Day Weekend and headed west to Nemacolin, a resort in the Allegheny Mountains. We were spoiled with cool pools, all the mini golf we could handle, milk and cookies every night, good food and lots of activities. We spent our first full day pretty scheduled out with fun…
Running the Bases
Not sure why it took so long, but the boys finally ran the bases at Nationals Park! Fresh off a walk-off win from 5 runs down going into the 9th inning on a hot day, everyone was pumped for more baseball action – and that meant running in the steps of baseball greatness!
BTS Together for the Last Time
Back at Glebe again for the last time together as we have 1st and 5th graders! With summer seeming to start and end in a flash, the boys were excited to reunite with friends and tell tales of summer camp, travel and other adventures and begin another year of learning and fun!
Sweden for the Day
While we had plenty to do in Denmark, it was fun to tick another country off the list and head to Sweden for the day – specifically Malmo. We enjoyed art and history at Malmo Castle, walked the downtown and ate well before heading back for what some considered the highlight of the trip –…
Kobenhavn Danmark
Copenhagen was a fun change of pace from Billund and all the Lego – though there were plenty of Lego stores to be found. We got exposed to a bit more culture and history, though one of the oldest amusement parks in the world kept it light and fun, too! Our home base at City…
