Annette and Asher Come to DC

My friend, Annette, and her son, Asher, came to DC to visit us last weekend. For the last couple years, Annette has been my online pen pal, so to speak. We both frequent the same online parenting boards and have become good friends, though this was the first time we've ever met in person. Annette and Asher live in Chicago. Asher is about 6 months older than Noah, and they hit it off.

On Saturday, we picked Annette and Asher up from the airport and went to the Natural History Museum, where we met up with Kathryn (another online pen pal) and her two girls, Sabrina and Danica.

On Sunday, we went to Great Country Farms to check out the pumpkin patch and the other fun kid activities.

When we got home, we carved the pumpkins that Noah and Asher picked out.

Here they are making "scary faces."

A highlight was the bouncy pillow at GCF.
