Mt Vernon take 2

Saturday we met up with the Millers at Mt Vernon. It was a fun time. We watched Bekah and Alex so that Heidi and Joseph could tour George Washington's house without having to wrangle toddlers--for some reason 2 year olds don't understand that you can't go under the ropes and run up and down the stairs in a 300 year old house or whatever..so weird.

Funny--I have a similar picture to this from the last time we went in November...Harrison is smaller and his hat is fuzzier :)

Most of the walk in Harrison was actually pushing the stroller. A volunteer asked him where his baby was and he said in his tummy...that's where he thinks baby sister is most of the time.

Heidi's kids know how to say "cheese"...Harrison is trying to figure out what is inside his hat...

Seriously the view from the back of the house is one of my favorites

OOH ROCKS!! I'm sure we can get in trouble with these!!!

On Saturday evening we finally filled up the play pool we got from our neighbor..Harrison LOVED it... He practiced "swimming" (on his hands) around and around...I hope he's ready to start swimming lessons on Monday!!!

Monday morning there was a parade after our ward pancake breakfast. Harrison was sad to not have a scooter or bike to not ride in it but then pretty satisfied when I just let him run around in circles :)

Lauren is in our primary class and LOVES Harrison..they were running around saying "YAY AMERICA!!"

"Mommy--don't you even TRY to catch me!!"

On an unrelated note--I used the dill from our garden to make pickles last week. For anyone who knows me at all well this was a BIG sacrifice to buy and cut up cucumbers...hopefully in a few days I will be rewarded :)

Harrison helped by washing the cucumbers

YUM!!! (fingers crossed)
