At the beginning of summer, as I considered the various activities I wanted to make sure we did this summer, one of them was to go up the Washington Monument. It was something I remember doing as a kid, and a memory I wanted to make sure our kids acquired. It used to be,...
One rainy morning, as I was scouring Our Kids for ideas to keep *my* kids occupied, my eyes alit on a place called “The Kid Drop Zone“. Lots of new indoor play areas are cropping up around town, but this one had appeal because it had a flexible start time and no set end...
Last week week took a trip to the “Wings of Fancy” butterfly exhibit at the Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, MD. We’ve gone once a summer the past few years and it has always been blazing hot. This year, the weather was slightly overcast and cool – which was the perfect conditions for visiting a...
A little ways back, we met up with friends at Great Country Farms for a little strawberry picking. We love GCF. We participate in their CSA and love coming out to the farm for their “pick your own” fields, plus all the other great activities available. To name just a few: the jumping pillow,...
A week ago marked Mike & I’s 11th anniversary. Mike had planned a fancy surprise getaway, but when mom passed away the day before, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to maintain our plans. In the end, we did go as scheduled and it was actually a really lovely weekend and time to be...
Wendy was so crestfallen on Thursday to learn that school was over, I had to line up a playdate fast to cheer her up again. All spring she has been wanting to get together with her friend B from school, but I never seemed to cross paths with B’s mom to set anything up. ...
Wendy has been clamoring to go to the zoo for a while. So, this past Saturday, when we found ourselves looking at a beautiful day with no specific plans, we decided to go check it out. Neither Mike nor I are big on going to “touristy” places on the weekends – we assume they...
Last Friday was a beautiful day, and we had no plans, but I couldn’t decide where I wanted to take the kids. I finally settled on a new destination for all of us – the Goddard Space Flight Center. Considering the weather, I probably should have picked an outdoor destination, but I wasn’t up...
We had the opportunity to go to “open play” at Monkey Business last week. MB is another one of these “kid gyms” that has fun stuff to do and climb on, as well as classes for the pre school aged crowd. All three kids had a great time running around and it seems to...
This year, it looks like our Easter celebrations will be busy with hunts and rolls a plenty. It started this Saturday, with a celebration at our preschool – Columbia Baptist. They had a HUGE festival that involved musical performances, multiple inflatables, easter egg rolls, yummy junk food (cotton candy, sno cones, popcorn, etc.), face...
