Vacationing

The past week Katie's family has been here visiting us. We've hung out in the city, and also visited Washington DC & Gettysburg. Here are some pictures from the past little bit:

I made this cake for a fund-raiser Katie helped put on for the Young Women. I made 4 separate cakes for this, and it must've weighed 10 pounds. The cardboard base it is sitting on had a width of about 2 feet and the length was a little longer. Yes, it's a volcano...

Josh got some alphabet magnets for his birthday, and he loves playing with them!

While in DC Josh and I took our first trip to McDonalds together while the others were out seeing the sites. He got his first Happy Meal - chicken nuggets. You can see his initial reaction. In the end he seemed to like it though.


Arlington Cemetery.

The Temple in DC.


Gettysburg. This is on top of Cemetery Hill where most of the Union artillery was located.


Trying to entertain Josh on the ride home. It was a tough job.

That cake is very impressive! I love the last picture of Josh, that is the cutest smile. It sounds like you guys have been having fun! Call me when you get a chance, I need to talk details with you about us possible coming to stay at the Allen hotel. :) Wahoo one more day till you're here!!!

I think your next challenge (after eating all that cereal) should have been to eat that entire cake. That thing is huge!

I don't blame Josh for making that face at his meal from Mickey D's...nasty! And I agree with Heidi...that last picture is adorable!

It sounds like you guys are having so much fun. Too bad dental school isn't 6 years long (for our sakes) that would give us enough time to save up and visit you guys.

Ahhhh... the joys of chicken nuggets. Like I've always said, "Teach them when they're young." Love it.

This might make me a huge nerd, but I am so jealous that you guys are so close to all of these national monuments. I would love to go see all of the famous landmarks around there. You guys are so lucky!

looks like you guys are having tons of fun out there seeing cool places. There isn't really anything exciting to see in pheonix except the desert. Josh is a cute little kid he must not have taken after ryan. Ha ha
