Fun in the city and at home

On Saturday, we went downtown and checked out the displays on the Mall. We saw the James Webb Space Telescope model. Then one of the presenters helpfully told us where the other "spacey" stuff was, so we skipped right to it. Northrop Grumman had Lego models of the telescope. Emily picked up a SpaceKids coloring book (Northrop Grumman). Tim was impressed to see that the satellite system he is working on is in the coloring book. We picked up plenty of swag. Emily and two other children were so happy to stand on the interactive floor and kick pretend rocks around. They were talking about it afterwards.
Sunday, we had a quiet day. I got a fair amount of gardening done and Tim added sand to Emily's sandbox, so she played in the new sand. I planted corn and beans together so the beans can climb up the corn stalks.
