What we did in October

At the beginning of the month we took a trip to Baltimore/Washington, D.C.  We drove from a job Dad had to do in Norfolk to Virginia Beach just so Victoria could see the ocean.

 The next day we were off to Washington, D.C.

 Chest Therapy happens even in the hotel.  Yay for a Caillou DVD.

 This was Victoria's favorite part.  She loved the castle. Day 2 in Washington, D. C.

 Yay for green space to run around and look at rocks.

 Because of the dinosaur bones we saw at the museum of Natural History all Halloween decoration skeletons are 'dinosaurs'.  Glad she's not scared.

 Picture with C3PO at museum of American history for Daddy.  We were getting kicked out.

 Lunch on the way home.  About 30 minutes out of the way just to eat at Friendly's.

 Decorating the yard & playing with flashlights a little more than a week after we got home.  Since we were both sick on the way home from the trip.  Last night in the hotel required a midnight run to wal-mart for vaseline.

 Last weekend the little girl turned 3 years old!

 Wearing a birthday girl hat.

 Playing with Auntie Ce in the playhouse.

 Cousin Cari is still feeling shy.

 Running for joy with her balloon.

 Follow Mommy.

 Cari finally warmed up and played with Victoria in the front yard for a while.  Then she said she wanted to go see her Daddy.  Victoria held her hand and walked her back to her Daddy.  It was so cute.

 Can we have cake now?

 Make a wish!

 Playing with Grandpa with her T-ball set.

 She was eating with two hands right up until she crawled up in my lap and fell asleep.  Birthdays are hard work!

 After her nap she tried on the mask from Auntie Ce & Uncle Paul.

 Cousin Cari, Uncle Ben, and Aunt Melanie gave Victoria a gift card to buy her own present.  Here's what she wanted - rain boots & pink princess pajamas!  Oh how I desperately tried to talk her into the Tinker Bell pajamas.  *sigh*

 Shopping for a pumpkin just before the rain came.

 We jumped and splashed in the rain.  We even walked around the block looking for more puddles to jump in.

Victoria's 3 year old check up showed she gained nearly a pound in a week from when she was in sick.  Yay for birthday cake! hehehehe.  Now for Halloween, Trick-or-Treating, and annual CF clinic next week.
