May 2015

May was full of fun and badly filmed videos.  In addition to the smorgasbord of photos below, you can see more by clicking here.  One big event happened this month that we don't have any photos of -- Katie went overnight camping with her Girl Scout troop.  She said it was a lot of fun but she had trouble sleeping with all the noise (from the wildlife and the wild girls).

Our yard is a beehive of activity.


Katie ran and ran and ran for charity at her school.  She nearly did 3 miles!


The hair of Kate is not so straight

World War II planes flyover DC.  It was a spectacular display of US fighters and bombers in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of V-E day.




This video is in desperate need of editing.

Some injured Caps test out their legs with a quick skate.  Troy Brouwer is in the background in red sweatpants.  He enjoyed Peter cheering him on so much that he gave him a puck and his stick afterwards... and then he got traded to St Louis a few weeks later.  Coincidence?


Peter with the stick and puck that the Caps Troy Brouwer gave him.




Peter on the inflatable obstacle course at the fair at Katie's school.  He's smiling at Katie's teacher.


The obstacle course was by far his favorite activity.  He did it again and again and again.

And she's off!
