A trip to the Air and Space Museum in Virgina & other ways to beat the heat

This past weekend was hot. I mean HOT. Friday had a heat index of 120. We didn't want to be couped up all day on Saturday, but doing something outside was out of the question. So we decided to hit the road and go to the Air and Space Museum in Virgina.

Isaac had a BLAST! If he didn't love airplanes before, he sure does now! We brought the stroller, but he basically walked everywhere, pointing at everything and saying "Airplane! Airplane!"

 Running up to look at an airplane. 
He loved the fact that they were floor level.


 This is a replica outfit they used to make for 
charities and stuff. I thought it was pretty neat.

 Checking out a jet.

 Looking up at one of the airplanes. 

 He kept putting his head between the bars. 
We were pretty surprised he didn't try 
and crawl underneath to get a closer look.

 "Cheese!"

 Checking out the FedEx cargo plane.

 Ooo a plane in just Isaac's size!

 He liked this one haha

 Walking, walking walking. Don't worry, Matt is 
close by, I just made sure he wasn't in the shot.

 Space Shuttle!

 Daddy showing Isaac the space shuttle.

 Look how small Matt, and especialy 
Isaac, are compared to the Shuttle!

 He kept wanting to go back and see it.

 Posing for a picture. I love this one!

"Ooooooo!" 

So as you can see, we had a good time.

We tried other ways to beat the heat...such as:
Eating frozen fruits, like strawberries & blueberries. 

Having daddy dump water over you

 Watching daddy work on the yard, from 
the nice, air-conditioned house.

Helping mommy sort the socks after doing laundry.

Ok, so that last one wasn't a "beat the heat" thing, but it was cute and wanted to share :) 

This upcoming weekend, we're going to PA to Matt's dad's and going camping! Well, it's camping right next to his house, but all the brothers with their kids will be there. It should be fun!

Stay cool everyone!
