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!

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!
A Night at the Museum
Some of us had a different adventure this summer by staying late at the Museum of Natural History with a friend. There were exhibits, demonstrations, challenges and more – all well after some of our bedtimes. That made it all the more fun!
A Quiet Father’s Day for Some
Father’s Day had a little more down time this year for some with a relaxing all-you-can-eat brunch and a massage, while 3/4 of the family headed southwest to drop C off at camp for nearly two weeks. It was a beautiful day for a ride in the country at least, and C and his friend…

On the Run Again
After barely surviving our first Glebe 5K, we came back for more! Everyone beat their times from last year and had an easier time walking the next day – so victories all around!
