What has Nathan been up to? He'll tell you himself!

As for the blog. Like Emily, I sort of traveled the world; the land, sea, and air. Present day and the past; we even explored the moon. Like Cassidy, I was actually always in D.C.  Like Nikhil and Jessica, I did science: science experiments, activities, and quizzes ]: Though I found in a quiz, I will never become an astronaut with my horrible knowledge of the moon. Like everybody, I had fun!  On the down side though, I got six hours of sleep, I hardly ate anything for breakfast, but I don’t really care. If you didn’t just skip to this part, I had a Smithsonian sleepover at the Museum of Natural  History, best place in the national mall.   IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Thanks!
Nathan

What have Nikhil, Emmanuelle, and Jessica been up to? TAKE A LOOK....

Nikhil... 

 ...participated in Take Your Child Day to Work Day at Ft. Detrick. While there, he and his sister, Mona held a couple of snakes on exhibition there! They enjoyed the Brain Museum- the picture is of a real formalin-preserved human brain which the children were allowed to hold. He has also been taking in some history this summer. For July 4th, Nikhil made it out to Ft. McHenry, Baltimore, where he and his sister participated in the flag folding ceremony, folding a 30x42 ft Star-Spangled Banner Flag, similar to the one that inspired Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812! And last weekend they visited Lincoln Cottage (in D.C.), President Lincoln's summer home where he drafted the Emancipation Proclamation. Now he's eagerly waiting his beach vacation just a couple of weeks away! 

(Sorry about the sideways pictures...I couldn't fix them!!)












Jessica...
...sent us this very cool video of a circuit experiment she worked on this summer...ENJOY!




Emmanuelle...

What have Emily and Cassidy been up to?

Emily...  
visited 25 countries in 10 minutes, and 11 countries in one day!  She ate in Mexico and Morocco (twice), went Under the Sea and found Nemo, ate in a castle and walked through another.  She visited Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox, went to a luau, had lunch with an animal specialist, met a turtle, and stayed in a treehouse! Yes....she visited Disney World yet again!  This time to celebrate her cousin Charlotte's graduation from Linganore HS and her cousin Kat's safe return from Costa Rica.









Cassidy...
and her family visited DC for the day! 

  
She visited the National Botanical Gardens,


was inside the National Building Museum,
