We had a good but busy weekend. The weather was unseasonably cool (in the hi-70s - low-80s with no humidity!). So, we took full advantage of it and spent a lot of time outside.
Saturday we got up and went for a nature walk at a new nature trail by our house. We saw lots of flowers and a bunch of turtles on lily pads. The boys both enjoyed running on the wood planked trail and seeing the turtles. After Samuel's nap, we met up with our friend, Nelly and kids at a local park and let the kids run and play. The kids both flopped into 
bed by 8 p.m. exhausted that night. It was wonderful.

It was wonderful.Sunday after church our babysitter came and stayed with Samuel while Benjamin and I met Nelly and Brooke at the movie theater to see "Space Chimps." It was good but maybe a little too scary at parts for Benjamin. He ended up waking up during the night that night but went back to bed pretty easily.
Yesterday, Natalie and I packed up the four boys and a picnic lunch and headed to Wheaton, 
Maryland to Wheaton Regional Park. It was about a 45 minute - 1 hour drive and well worth it! They have a miniature train that takes you on a 10 minute ride through the park. The boys were all thrilled. Benjamin and Jack were smiling ear to ear and loved every minute. After the train ride, we enjoyed our picnic lunch in o
ne of the many pavilions then let the kids burn off all their energy at the park's great playground. On the way out the kids rode the carousal. It was the perfect day for our outing and we hope to go back!

There is a miniature train at Burke Lake Park, too - they also have mini-golf, playgrounds, frisbee golf, boat rentals, etc - I think there may be a carousel but I can't remember. You should check it out!
