LULU!!!

After Grandma BB and Grandpa John came out, our next visitor was Grandma Lulu.

We had a fantastic time with Grandma Lulu, and she had a great time reading to imogen and doing all sorts of chores with Dilly.


while she was here, we went to the Yards Park, DC

Where we walked around and looked at the big war ships out in the river, as well as explored the walks.

But Imogen's favorite was playing in the water feature at the park.

Yards park has a water fall, a wading pool, and fountains.

None of which Dilly got to play in (sad clown).

Dad and Iggy got to run around in the water

Iggy tested her ability to run in and out of fountains (with dad cornered by the water)

Jed and Tiffany got a little bit of time in the sun

Dilly took a little nap

After a great day at the Yards park, we attended the Folklife Festival on the national mall. It's put on by the Smithsonian and celebrates various aspects of life through american culter, those that are truly "american" and those that are mulit-cultural and make america such an interesting place to live.

The carousel is not actually part of the festival, but it's in the Mall, and definately makes life interesting.

Grandma Lulu and Imogen both got their own horses to ride. Giddy' UP!

Here we are at the blues section of the folk life festival.

Everyone got to dane out their blues. It was a ton of fun.

Grandam Lulu, Tiffany, Imogen, and Dilly all spent the day at Lake Anna, VA

Although the weather did not cooperate, as there was a storm on the horizon, and they were not permitted in the water because of lightning.

The closest Iggy got to the water due to looming thunderstorms.

So, to make up for not getting into the water, the girls all headed to Gunpowder Falls State Park, MD

Here, they were able to get into the water, and everyone got to enjoy a day on the beach.

Back at home, Grandma Lulu got to enjoy some downtime with her newest granddaughter.

Dilly-dactyl.

Dilly's First Pool Experience at the Lincoln Cappers Pool - Success

Dilly was able to get into the pool near our house. She tolerated, but Imogen is still our little water baby.

Iggy will not be kept out of the water, even when it is above her mouth/nose line.

Three generation of Rose women (now bodgers). Such a great picture.
