More happenings with Mom & Dad

My SM got a Wii for finishing his dissertation. Mom and Dad brought it with them, since we bought the Wii from my cousin. Anyway, I have been very amazed at how much my Dad has been enjoying himself on the Wii. And he is very good at it too. In the picture above and below, SM and my Dad are bowling. Check out their form!!

That was a great curve on the bowling ball...I know that there is a technical term for that but I haven't learned it yet. I guess that means I need more time on the Wii. Also, you will notice that my Mom is reading in the background. I borrowed the book The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale and she hasn't put the book down unless we are out being tourists.
This morning we went the NRA (National Rifle Association) Museum. I learned so much about guns. Dad was an unofficial tour guide and probably did better than any "real" tour guides. He knows so much history about guns and the small little details. We spent a few hours seeing hundreds of guns.
SM spent the morning with us and went into work around noon. It was nice having him there. Plus, he'd never been to the NRA Museum before and wanted to go. We had a great time.
This afternoon, Mom, Dad, and I went to the Washington D.C. temple. I'm holding a picture of "Flat Kaitlyn"...a picture of a little girl from New York. This picture has travelled around the United States, and is with me this week, and hopefully I'll get it mailed off to someone else next week. But back to the temple. We had a great time at the temple and my Dad really enjoyed being there. Last time he was here...it was a very quick trip...this time we actually did a session. And it was wonderful!!

Looks like you are having a great time with your parents. Seeing all of those blossoms in your last post made me wish I was there for it! That's one of my favorite places to visit! Glad you're having fun.
