Day 2!

Day 2 

 Sunday and we attended Matt and Raquel's ward then headed off for a drive. It was a cold day and the wind was going pretty good. Here is grandpa showing Caroline how to swing 

herself without any   

help from an adult. It took her a minute but she got it pretty fast and had a ball. She is talking and signing so many words it is amazing to me how much she knows. 

 Some of her words are, mom and dad, papa, mama, cat, dog, banana, water, shoes, kitty. Her best word is HAPPY DAY!

 They had a ball together all week, her and papa. I guess that is Dan's name really but she hasn't gotten the grandpa down yet. It will come. 

Here is a shot of the Washington DC Temple. It is right around the corner from Matt and Raquel's home. So cool to see when you are coming down the freeway. 

 Here is where Miss Caroline spent most of the days that we were there and she is the happiest baby I know. I know a lot!!!!

 We ended up at the Arlington Cemetery. It was very nice there and it had a great feeling. it was cold so we didn't stay long but we got to see the Unknown Soldier Tomb and the guards were changing. 

  The Tomb Guard marches 21 steps down the black mat behind the Tomb, turns, faces east for 21 seconds, turns and faces north for 21 seconds, then takes 21 steps down the mat and repeats the process. After the turn, the sentinel executes a sharp "shoulder-arms" movement to place the weapon on the shoulder closest to the visitors to signify that the sentinel stands between the Tomb and any possible threat. Twenty-one was chosen because it symbolizes the highest military honor that can be bestowed -- the 21-gun salute.
