Hiking Chesapeake Arboretum

This morning Brooke, Alex, and I went on a short hike of the Chesapeake Arboretum.  It is a beautiful fall day today and perfect sweater weather.  Sorry for some of the blurry pictures- we were on the move!

Stockley Garden Art Festival

Yesterday we went as a family to the Stockley Garden Art Festival.  Alex snuggled up to me in the ERGO and Brooke had fun watching a street performer on Dadda’s shoulders.

Orange shirt play day at NGB

Brooke, Alex and I had a great morning.  I decided it was close enough to Halloween to bust out the little pumpkin mustache man onesie I had ordered him online and more importantly it is finally feeling like fall with a high of 70 degrees.  So since Brooke’s favorite color right now is orange, she wore her shirt to match Alex’s.  After some morning wake up fun and watching the garbage truck pick up our trash we were off.  We joined 6 other mothers and their kiddos for a day out and played at the many playgrounds of the NBG.  Then everyone else went home and we found a nice shady spot in the evergreen garden for the picnic lunch I packed this morning.  On our way home we -of course!- had to stop and watch the airplanes at the airport.  It was a fun morning with my favorite girl and boy!
