Yesterday was a gorgeous spring day, so we spent the afternoon at the park with Trish and Colin, then headed into DC for our typical Friday-night family outing. The kids entertained themselves for a long time at the park, but we had to call it a day when Colin insisted on eating rocks for a snack. He really was not happy when his mom had to fish them out of his mouth!

Portman had a really long week at work, so he took off early and we walked along the waterfront in Georgetown before settling in for an overpriced dinner. Harper spent the entire meal watching the airplanes land at National Airport, which was never-ending excitement considering a plane lands about every 30 seconds. After a lot of people-watching, we indulged Harper in her second ice-cream cone of the week (and of her life!). She was falling asleep in her stroller, but still managed to wolf down most of her cone. She also learned what happens when you bite off the bottom of the cone!
