At the end of Sept. Katrina and I flew to Maryland to visit Mom and Fran. We had an very packed schedule sightseeing places like the National Zoo, Smithsonian museum, National Book Festival, National Art gallery and Arlington . You will not see pictures of those places. We forgot the camera! However, we do have pictures of us at a very cool park and Mt. Vernon.
Like mother like daughter! Katrina loves to swing!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
At the park we saw the crossing where the small train runs through the park. We hoped for a ride but the train wasn't running that day. I guess we will take our first train ride with Dad.
Katrina wasn't as excited about the slide as she was with the swing but it was still pretty cool!
It's been awhile since mom went on a slide, geez maybe even a whole year! Occupational hazard I suppose.
Our little lady getting all cleaned up for bed! What a cutie!
So contemplative, To sleep or not to sleep, that is the question.
Grandma Joyce and Katrina playing on the floor.
Looks like grandma is still a pro!
Poor Katrina had such a busy week she took most of her naps on the go!
She was very happy to just be at grandma's house playing in the evenings.
Relaxing on the deck with Grandma Joyce.....
and Grandpa Fran.
We had such great weather Katrina could hang out after dinner on the deck in just a diaper!
We went to Mt. Vernon and here we saw the gristmill making corn meal. Katrina was fascinated.
Then we went to the restaurant and had a fabulous lunch. Katrina tried everything to taste our food but, alas her efforts went unrewarded! She ate oatmeal.
Mt. Vernon ( George Washington's house). Katrina was bored on the tour so she went outside with Grandma.
"Now this is much better then the stuffy old house"
A thoroughly exhausted Katrina finally gets some rest! What a great trip. Next time Dad will have to come with us!
A few days before Christmas Katrina had her friends Elyse and Kaelyn over for a mini holiday gathering! They all enjoyed opening the presents and of course sharing them so nicely!
At Grandma and Grandpa's Katrina was in awe of the presents under the tree!
She really enjoyed opening them and helping others with their bows.
Santa even brought her a pop on barnyard! She insisists on carrying one of these with her at all times now!
What a well loved and spoiled little girl! Now if only I knew where to put all the wonderful new Christmas gifts! Thank you to all and we hope you had a very special Holiday Season!
