When Paul is around, the serenity produced by a cool breeze drifting through the gold and amber leaves on an Autumn day can all too quickly be shattered by continous shrieks of nonsense.
Seriously, Mom and Dad. Seriously? First this silly hat, and now this? Really??
This one was taken specifically for Grandpa Bill.
But the lighting in the yard was not all that we had hoped for, so we decided to head north into the District to the National Arboretum. In D.C. they have the "National" version of everything. They have the National Zoo, the National Mall, the Nationals baseball team, the National Aquarium, the National Traffic Light, the National Parking Space, the National Restroom (including the National Toilet), and this national place for national trees and plants.
When they expanded the National Capitol Building way back in the day, they took down these national columns. Some lady fought for 30 years to have them moved here, and apparently she finally won. We should have worn togas and sat around them in deep thought.
Just a picture of the National Mother and Son... who of course is distracted as usual.
Big Kid definitely says it.
Nothing makes tree and plant watching a little more enjoyable than a nice sucker.
We brought along the tripod to try some family shots, as you can see.
Getting this kid to hold still for two seconds is next to impossible. It takes bribes of sugar and threats of weeks in solitary confinement, but occasionally it works. 
The sun was bright in this spot.
Yep, that would be Paulie Cheeseburger in true form. 
Still brushing off the grass and the leaves.
Hold up, I gotta look cool for my photo.

Looks like a nice national family. I was just curious are you gonna be headed back this way to get sworn in anytime soon?
