Tigger meets the Texas Fam!

Tigger just spent a fun-filled weekend with his Aunt Lorelei, Uncle Michael and Cousin Cassidy. They came for a visit to meet their nephew/cousin and we all had a great time! Here's Uncle Michael meeting Caleb for the first time (and me showing him our cool Flip). This is one of the few pictures of Michael because......

....he spent the entire weekend like this, behind the camera:


We started off Day 1 of the visit with a trip to the Museum of Natural History. Papa Tigger and I just got a new stroller for when Tigger outgrows the car seat. Cassidy was nice enough to try it out for us during the visit.

Here we are at the fish exhibit (notice Michael in the background with his camera).





After the museum, we went for a long walk around the national mall. We saw the Washington Monument, the World War II Memorial, the Korean Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial and the Vietnam Wall. Michael wanted a picture of the fam in front of the Washington Monument, so Papa Tigger obliged, making sure to get the best angle:

We were all tired after all that walking.....

The next day, we started off our walking tour with Dupont Circle, where Papa Tigger lived years ago before meeting Mama Tigger. Cassidy enjoyed running around the fountain with Papa Tigger.





While we were sitting on the benches, we got a true DC-citing when Donald Rumsfield walked by. I guess he was enjoying the nice DC weather as well.

We finished off the day with a stroll by the White House. Then later that night, Michael and Lorelei babysat Tigger so that Mama and Papa Tigger could have a date night. While Papa Tigger and I enjoyed a nice dinner, Michael and Lorelei visited a DC landmark, Ben's Chili Bowl. I think the size of the chili cheese fries surprised both of them!

On our last day, we visited the International Spy museum. Since no photography was allowed inside (much to Michael's indignation), we don't have any pictures of that. For dinner, Papa Tigger made the famous Thomas ribs. It was yummy and very messy! Luckily, everyone managed to save room after the ribs for a treat from Rita's. After some italian ice and gelati, we wrapped up the day with some relaxing time in the basement, where Cassidy got to spend some time with Caleb:

Kisses for baby Caleb:

And now, she's done, off to something else:

We even got some video of Cassidy holding Caleb:





And again later, helping him with his pacifier (and being shy):

Cassidy was really great with Caleb, at one point getting a burp cloth because the 'baby's dripping.'

And finally, the last picture of the weekend. Here's Cassidy none too happy about getting up early for the return flight home:

Papa Tigger, Tigger and I had a great time. Thanks Michael and Lorelei for making the trip out here!!
