Another fun weekend!

 On Saturday, we headed into DC to go to the Nickelodeon Worldwide Day of Play!  We were excited to see some of Samuel's favorite characters and to do some good ole' fashioned play.  The weather wasn't the best but we made the best of it! We headed to the park in front of the White House which is where it was taking place...and so did every other person in the metro area.  Oh my, it was packed full of kids.  Samuel would have stayed there all day if he had been a couple of years older but we tried to do a few things. 

Running the obstacle course..or attempting to!

Not so sure....

We decided to walk to Old Ebbit Grill for lunch.  Thankfully, we beat the crowd..

Lunch was great until this precious little guy decided to barf everywhere!  He has my gag reflex and anything can set him off. Bless his heart!  He kept saying "sorry mommy."

 We next decided to go to the National Book Festival that took place on the National Mall.  It was AWESOME!  They had so many different tents where authors were signing books, reading or storytelling, etc.  They even had a Family Storytelling Stage where different performances took place.  Much to our surprise, CHOO CHOO SOUL was performing right when we walked up.  Samuel was in awe!

Complete amazement!

 We ended the day with a trip to the Book Sales tent.  Samuel scored some great books and they were all signed by the authors..not that he cared about that last part...but it was pretty cool:))
