An exciting weekend

Hello again! In my phone calls across the country I understand you all would have loved to be here this past weekend! Washington's getting the rain, Colorado the snow, and Iowa the cold. We have a beautiful weekend with some great memories once again. Before I forget, a special thanks to grandad and granny for the 'gift', the coons for the easter snacks, scott for your box and M&D for yours! I believe receiving mail is among our favorite things to... do, and a box tops that!
Well this past Wednesday was a little disappointing since I managed to get off of my cold just as Sean began his session. So Wednesday was a sleep day for him as I worked on checking a few things off of my to-do list. It's good that Sean is feeling better, but he's at sleep a bit early after another busy weekend!
Thursday and Friday were a bit of the same with Sean hitting the hay early. Saturday, there was an adult soccer tournament next to the reflection pool, and DC United sponsored the event. The only two staff members 'supervising' were Sean and the other intern. Sean and I each held a two hour session as the mascot of DC United, a talon (eagle), which was quite the experience. It's exciting when every person you walk by wants to meet you and get a picture taken with you. Although we made over a hundred kids happy, Sean managed to make a couple cry and I made an enemy in a golden retriever! It was fun none-the-less as you'll see in the posted pictures!
The tournament was Saturday and Sunday, which virtually took up our whole weekend. Tonight was opening night for MLB, which is exciting for a few people I understand. We had a wiener roast and watched part of the game, but decided 3 innings was enough.
After we left the game we went outside, where likely the most memorable experience of our time in DC happened! We walked outside and went to cross the street, but there was a parked car that blocked Sean's vision. Anyway, he ran our into the road and got hit head-on by a Dodge Caravan. Luckily the car was beginning to slow for a stop sign, so he just fell backward and rolled a bit on the ground. After getting up he felt OK so we didn't have to go to the hospital or anything, which was nice - because it was late and we're tired!
Among these thrills, my mother and father, along with Buhee, were led to believe that Sean and I got arrested this past weekend for stealing from the Air and Space Museum, forgetting today is also April 1! Sean's parents were led to believe that I was engaged. We're not always the sweet little angels over here :). You can re-read the last paragraph with today's date in mind if you wish. Hope you all have a good start to the week... here's to some nice weather!
