A wonderful start to a new school year, and you know what that means --- a wonderful trip to DC to help Safta Grandma Mildred celebrate her 97th birthday!

Making the most out of our stroller situation.
Note the one that does not want to be in the stroller.
It did not take long for the Barbag Boys to fall asleep once we got our rental car.
Power nap and then on our way to Safta's to take her out for lunch!
Safta enjoys time with her Great Grandkids!
Benji tries walking a mile in Mommy's shoes.
Two more Barbag Boys taking naps.

Wouldn't be a family gathering without FOOD!

Meanwhile, back at the Sorensens, the other boys were getting ready for bed.
No Benji, that's Turner's bed!!!
Early morning video games...sure, why not?
Breakfast of champions?
Yummy in everybody's tummy.
We are so fortunate to be able to celebrate Safta's 97th birthday and enjoy such a great celebration with so many family and friends!

These Barbags are like playing with real live dolls!
So much fun, but soooo tiring!
Now that the celebration has ended, we're off to DC to spend time with the Godfathers.
First up --- the Zoo!
The best view in the zoo!
Awesome artwork created from scrap/junk/garbage
Really awesome way of recycling (Mommy did a
similar project in 7th grade --- she did NOT take
that art home with her, but the school kept it on display)!
Back to the new place for time with Pequod.
We didn't even need to go to the zoo --- there were a
beautiful family of deer hanging out in the back yard.
Benji gets to give a treat to Pequod.

Next up -- visits with (soon-to-be Aunt) Amanda and Uncle Alex, and then off to the Marshalls!
Rooftop view of Amanda's and Alex's downtown apartment.
Derek worked hard to complete a Lego Lincoln Memorial.
Hanging with Terry.
It's always a fun time when Eric is around.
They just love him so much!
Thanks for always making time for us --- we SO enjoy visiting with you!

Give me paw.
Okay. We cool.
Busy bees.
Time to get shoes on and head out.
Typical transport in DC.
Another wonderful DC visit. Mommy and Daddy sure miss living up there, but it's always nice to get home, too. But, first, a visit to Bubby and Zaide.
Checking out the frog.
Completing his journal/hw right before bed!
