Independence Weekend

July 2010
.
Leaving for DC.


Lisa and the kids on the Metrorail to downtown DC.

Walking near the White House

Our destination: The Washington Monument.

Our location for the Fireworks!

Christy and the monument.

Let the show begin!



Best fireworks show we've ever seen!

Monday we drove back to DC for a quick tour.

Snapping while driving to the National Zoo.


Josh, Lauren and Justin look for turtles.

A fight broke out!

The ant-eater was one of our favorites. It was huge!

Starfish. Holding hands.


Justin loved the gorillas.



Another favorite was the naked mole rat.



It was 99 degrees for most of the day. Hot and tired.

We stood in line for a long time to see the Pandas.

All four kids trying to spot the animals.


Another favorite - the flamingos.

Big cats are always sleeping. Always.

See?

Told you so.



Great trip!
