Daddy the 'camp director' had a fun filled weekend for us to celebrate the 4th! Friday night we went to Yards park for sprinkler playing, live music and a picnic. Every once in a while you find something in DC that isn't advertised to tourists, and it is so relaxing to be able to enjoy a little bit of DC with no crowds. This park has water sprayers and huge grassy lawns overlooking the river. Friday nights they have live music and no one is there!
Irby LOVES the water.
The littles devising a plan to run through the fountains (eventually they did!)
Charlie hitching a ride.
Rolling (wrestling) in the grass.
Saturday we went to the beach about 45 minutes away from us, Chesapeake Beach. We went in the evening 4-8, and it was such a gift to not worry about sunscreen or heat.
Sunday hike in Rock Creek Park.
Monday: Parade and fireworks (for those of you who know how little Irby reacts to fireworks, you will understand there were no extra hands to take pictures. Everything was fine for the big show by the monuments, then passing through our park on the way home, the close up fireworks were a little to real, loud, close...we had a great 4th though. Irby smoked some boston butts and we had some friends over...but we sure missed being with family!)
