Every time we go to visit Jonathan and Mary Katherine in Maryland I plan on bringing my camera. As you may be able to tell from the lack of photos accompanying this post, once again I forgot! One of the biggest motivators is the fact that the only really good picture of the two of them with either of my children is from their visit to California. I believe Jacob is about six months in that one...and in August he'll be six! Needless to say, it's time to update the collage!
That said, we all had a wonderful time on Saturday. Mary Katherine looks fabulous...and very ready to have that baby boy! It's hard to believe she's due at the beginning of August. I was HUGE when I was as pregnant as she is and she just has this perfect little belly. Very impressive!
We did drag them around a little bit, going out to lunch and stopping at Borders to stock the boys up for vacation. (If the big bookstores weren't 45 minutes from our house we would have skipped this one but you have to take advantage of being in an actual city!) And we just had to visit the L.L. Bean store, a first for us. Well worth the extra errand though. We finally found a lightweight rain coat for Jacob...and got a cool shark belt on sale just because. (Don't worry, Zack got a new fleece out of the deal. It was a bargain we couldn't pass up.) Mary Katherine loved the fact that Jacob was in awe of the parking garage and the mall. Gotta love living in the sticks!
The highlight of the day for Jacob was the chance to play Uncle Jon Jon's Playstation 2. He had Star Wars Legos, the video game that both of my boys want with a passion. Zachary gave playing a shot but eventually we enticed him downstairs to watch superhero cartoons on the big TV...On Demand no less. (If we hadn't, they'd still be stuck in the same spot on the game. Poor guy, he tried!) It's the little things that everyone else considers must haves that my kids are enthralled by when we travel. Being on a budget has it's advantages!
