D.C. Adventures :: National Mall!

Today we headed back into D.C. to visit the National Mall! I was so proud of how well the kiddos did today. They were able to enjoy the walk and being outside, while still being quiet and respectful at the memorials. We walked A LOT, and they never complained once. It's fun that they're at an age where we can start visiting fun places!

We walked by the Washington Monument, on our way to the World War II Memorial. The kids loved the fountains, and they loved seeing all the ducks taking baths in the fountains.

Love for our new state!

Sending love back to Texas

We walked the length of the reflecting pool and stopped for a water break and a snack. We got to sit in the shade to cool off and watch the people go by. A couple was taking some wedding pictures, and the kids watched every minute, wondering what they were doing haha. 

Once they got fueled up, they were ready to head to the Lincoln Memorial! Aiden climbed up the stairs like a pro, and Eli and Maddie kept asking, "who was that big man sitting on the chair?"  :)

And once again, everywhere that Uncle Michael went, Aiden was sure to go :)

Little legs walked pretty far today, but our kiddos were such troopers! It was fun to be back in D.C. {for me}, and fun to share it with Mike, our kids, and Uncle Michael. I know these will be fun pictures to look back on, to ooh and ahh over how little our kids were when they first visited our nation's capitol. We look forward to visiting again soon!
