Labor Day Week-end in Silver Spring


Labor Day 2010 in the D.C. area was blessed with beautiful weather -- temperatures in the mid 80's with low humidity. Mark had planned for some time to seize the day by taking the boys on a hike. So ... when Moges and Donica arrived at Eccleston St. with the boys (+ a friend who had joined Daniel, Eli and Micah for a sleepover at their place on Sunday night), we had 6 boys and 4 adults for the trek in two cars to Great Falls National Park on the Potomac River.
All kinds of other folks had the same idea, so there was a long line of cars waiting to enter the park gate, but we parked, gathered up our lunch stuff and headed out on the River Trail. We probably hiked less than 2 miles in all, but it was a nice day.



The week-end also included baking some brownies and lots of time on the trampoline for the boys. (We'd finally set-up the trampoline just prior to the week-end.) - rw

Sure, Nzol, it's late, but in Mark's defense it was sure hot and humid + scads of mosquitoes earlier in the summer!

Where is the trampoline SAFETY net?! Such delinquent parenting techniques when mom is away and a lenient is Grandpa is in charge. I bet you even take out the kids for ice cream sometimes.
