Playing Through

Neve was feeling a little under the weather today, so Mike took the big kids into the city for lunch, a matinee showing of "Planes," and some mini golf.  The kids did very well taking in one of their first full-length features, despite past sensitivities to theater sound systems.  Even Michael made it through the whole movie (minus one potty break), when properly plied with licorice.  And Dad was ecstatic with their patience when standing in line for 75 minutes to try the National Building Museum's current "Mini Golf" exhibit.  Still not sure if it was worth the long wait, but the kids did seem to be entertained by each hole's custom design by leading Washington-area architects and contractors.

In honor of tomorrow's first day of school for Katie, here she is putting out on #7's "Homeroom."

Stay tuned tomorrow for a status report on our growing "1st Grader."
