trick-or-treating

Morocco

This year for Halloween we went trick-or-treating on Embassy Row. It is pretty much a neighborhood of lots of embassy's downtown. It was really fun to talk with the kids about the different countries & where they are located as we went up to each embassy door. The embassy's were really cute with the kids & made it special for them. It was fun to see inside some of the embassy's & how they were decorated and looked. Here are some pictures of the kids trick-or-treating & I don't know how it happened, but I didn't even get in one picture! That's what happens sometimes when you are behind the camera.

Air & Space

We went to the air & space museum. Not the one downtown, but the Smithsonian also has one up by the airport. We decided to check it out today & we had a marvelous time. This is the space suit that the astronaut are launch in.
This is a cool thing that the astronauts can look out into space from.

The plane above us is the kitty hawk. The one that has the big teeth!

Overall we saw lots of cool stuff. They also had this cool movie in a blowup planetarium ( a blow up dome that we sat in). It was about Big Bird & Elmo looking at the constellations & going to the moon. So fun. It was actually so cool.

Round 2: Trunk or Treat
We had a gentle bee & Cinderella on her wedding day. They had a wonderful time dressing up! OH YA- and getting lots of candy.



Aub's cute friends from church. They all love to take pictures.



And Mary Poppins was even there! I wish I would have taken a picture of her standing up! Her costume was so darling. Aubrey totally thought she was the real deal & loved talking to her.
