On Saturday we went to the zoo. We were there in time for grooming goats! Bree enjoyed this but didn't want to actually look at the camera when I took the picture.
It was a very hot day in DC, and very humid too. It was a nice day to be outside, though. We had a great lunch outside the zoo, at the Lebanese Taverna. Yummy! We finished up the zoo after lunch.
The place where my friend was staying during her assignment had a pool, and we were able to go swimming in the afternoon. A really great day. But the fun wasn't over yet! That evening, we met our friends Bill & Alyson and Caleb for dinner. We ate at a local shopping center that had a Lego store - where Bree & Caleb had an absolute blast playing with Lego swords & shields. Alyson showed Bree the "proper" way to handle her sword and shield. Bree was in business!
And while Bree & Caleb had a great time, Bill had an equally awesome time. :)
We had brunch on Sunday at a dim sum restaurant that I used to go to with Leslie & Marc. It had been years since I had eaten dim sum and it was really good. It would have been even better if Bree had eaten something, but she didn't even really want to try anything. I am pretty sure she knew that I'd get her Mr. Donad's on the way home. :)
We headed home after brunch, and wowza - I do not miss DC traffic AT ALL. It took us over 5 hours to get home. Sly had a great time at his doggie hotel. I will admit to feeling guilty that he might be thinking that we were "returning" him or something. He was happy to see us, but I do believe that he was happy to have a few days away from Bree's grabby little hands.

Our collection of swords keeps growing and growing. He just won himself a light up one from the fair today. That might say something about why we're teaching our friend's children how to be delinquents with weaponry as well. I deny everything.
