Catherine Has Arrived!

 We had been telling Emma for awhile that Great Grandma was coming with us on vacation, but she didn't get the fact why she wasn't at our house when the rest of the family arrived.  It still didn't really sink in to her that Daddy and Grandpa went to pick up Great Grandma and were going to meet us at the National Harbor in Maryland.  She was very surprised when we got out of the car and there she was!
 
While we were at the Harbor, we walked around a little bit to look at the local shops and to grab lunch before heading home.  We had stopped at the Peeps store, played in the sand, fed the fish from the dock, ate lunch at a sandwich shop, and stopped at a kitchen store.  Our family enjoys going to this area each month, but the main attraction at that time is the Children's Museum.  We hope Catherine enjoyed it as much as we do!

 
On the way to meet Great Grandma.


Emma was so excited to see Great Grandma.

 
Mason was still trying to figure out who she was.


Scoot down Great Grandma!

Someone has stinky feet!

Running through the Peep store.


My hot tamales!


Picking out a basket.


Or maybe two baskets!


Trying to sneak a few pieces of Mike and Ikes.


She got a mouthful!


Oh no, what should I get instead?


Checking out all the colorful Peep stuffed animals.

He is such a little lover!


How precious!


Two new baskets to add to the collection.

Catherine made a friend.


Searching for every last drop of fish 'aka cat food'.

Still loves the duckies too!

Finally returning the favor to his Grandma.


Holding hands with Great Grandma.


Being silly while we waited for everyone to return.


She loves her doggies, even ones she finds on the street
 that belong to other people!


Mason was having just too much fun shopping.


Tracing the letters in the kitchen store.


Emma will find a dog anywhere, even this $100 metal one!


Waiting for us to finish shopping.

 
He might just break some little girls heart one day.
 
 
I think we wore Emma and Heidi dog out this morning.
