Mommy's work had their annual staff picnic yesterday. Laura and I got to go! Gavin went to school because Mommy says she's "not that crazy." I have only been around a few months, but Mommy? I beg to differ. That lady is completely crazy... but fun! We visited Mommy's work while she tried to get some stuff done, then we went down to the Mall (this big grassy area that was really hot but had lots of tents) for the picnic with Mommy's closest 5,000 coworkers. We also went to the Natural History Museum to see the jewels and cool off. Laura loved the gems, but was disappointed that they didn't have garnet on display (at least that we found) and that garnet is red and that her birthstone isn't emerald.
