This Memorial Day weekend Da took the kids to go hiking at the DC National Mall with the scouts while Abbey went with the church youth to Youth Conference. It started Friday night when Abbey left Da with three kids.
He did not know what to feed them and somehow grilling burgers came to mind. It was getting late around 8pm when he decided to take the kids out to buy the food for making the burgers. They didn't eat until nearly 9pm. Then Clayton had a marvel idea to want to eat outside on a beautiful cool night, and there was no bugs!
The next morning, while did a lot of work in the kitchen with other adults preparing food for the youth at Youth Conference, Da was walking all around the DC National Mall hiking and doing a scavenger hunt with the scouts to look for and learn about the beginning of Scouting in Washington DC.
Going through the gates for the first time in many years. And of course get the very front seats.
