D.C

We also went downtown and saw a few of the sights. We did lots of walking and the girls were troopers. I tried to give them a little history lesson about Honest Abe, but all they got from it was "Big Statue."



This is one is for my Dad. This is at the Korean War Memorial.


WW2 Memorial. We had to find Ohio of course.

Washington D.C.

This last weekend we had a fun little trip to D.C. It was only about a 6 hour drive from here so we went and stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Hammond. We loved being with them! Grandpa Hammond is the Temple President and they finish their three years the end of October. They are the greatest, most loving, spiritual people. It was a great to be with them. Scott and I each went and did a session at the temple. It is so big and beautiful.



Here is Grandpa reading the girls their bedtime story.


The girls wanted to wear curlers just like grandma! (Sorry Grandma- we just had to post this picture. It was too cute!) We had such a fun time playing and singing songs with Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma of course fixed us the most delicious food too! I wish I could be as great of a cook as she is! We also went to the zoo with them too. We loved it.


It was so fun to see my old roomie and friend Taryn and her husband and meet baby Reese for the first time! Reese is so cute. She'll be a heartbreaker for sure! They are in D.C for law school, and live in a darling apartment in Arlington. It was so fun to visit and catch up! Thanks for letting us just show up at your door! We loved seeing you!

TWINS Festival!

The first weekend of this month was the annual Twins Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio. We heard about it from some twins we met in Missouri so we decided to look it up. It turned out that Twinsburg is only 2o minutes from our house so we decided to go. The festival goes from friday night through sunday, so we just went friday and for some of saturday. It is so funny becasue there are like 2000+ sets of multiples all at the festival. All the twin sets dress alike so it was hilarious to see these two 80 year old grandmas or these 50 year old twin guys looking exactly alike. It really was fun. They had a dinner on friday night and there were outdoor games for the kids and this little animal show. On Saturday all the twins marched in a parade, and I have to say it outdid the Kirksville 4th of July parade by A LOT! It was really big and lots of people come out to watch it. After they have a little carnival set up with rides and games. They do talent shows and contests like the youngest twins or the twins who look the most alike etc. We took a few pictures but I can't get them off my camera because the battery is dead and I can't find the charger! Hopefully I will soon and I'll post them. It was a funny little experience, but I'm sure we'll go again. Yay for twins! Below are a few great examples of the twins at the festival...
