Memorial Day celebration!!

Ok, so it's been almost a month since Memorial Day, but better late than never right?!?! We actually had a visitor stay with us the week before Memorial Day. Many years ago, the Morgan family lived in Hawaii and we were in the same ward in Kailua. Heather was actually one of my young women when I was the YW president!! Anyway, Heather is here in D.C. doing an intership, but her housing wasn't ready for the first week she was here so we were so happy to invite her to stay with us. We didn't do a whole lot with her since she was working, but we did celebrate Memorial Day together. The funny thing is, I didn't get any pictures of her!!

For Memorial Day, we headed to the Calvert Marine Museum. Some friends told us that it was pretty fun for kids, so off we went. The first stop was a kids room with a bunch of hands-on activities. Here's Lillie greeting people from the lighthouse.

Next stop, the little dress up cottage. Lillie makes a cute pioneer girl.

Here's her somber state

Ships AHOY, Captain Lillie!!

A little observing time at the live sea life tank. Here's Lillie checking out the horseshoe crab. See her clenched fist...she kept her distance.

Lillie also saw turtles, jellyfish, fish, and clams. No pictures of those sea creatures.

It's OUR Little Mermaid!!

After seeing LOTS of different kinds of sea life, including these 2 sea otters that entertained us for quite a while, we went on a boat ride!!!

We rode for about an hour on the Chesapeake Bay. Lillie loved looking at all the homes on the bay and all the boats docked at the piers. She especially loved riding under one of the bridges that we often drive over.

It was a fun, relaxing day.
