We were so dang lucky to spend an amazing Fourth of July weekend with some truly GREAT friends, the Essigs. Even though they are super successful and busy, they are so sweet and humble and attentive. Ivy kept us all (including the entire block) up one night with her screaming and they were still so kind and understanding. You guys are one in a million!
Ali watched the babes so we could visit the beautiful DC Temple with her adorable friends.
Then she lead us on a personal US Capital tour which was so inspiring.
Every space is breathtaking, Ali was the best tour guide!
Ali and Chelsy took the kids to the dress rehearsal concert on the Mall so we could cheer on the Nats.

Lincoln and Ali were so cute with the kids- they'll be great parents:)
Tired little baby.
I was amazed to see so many foreign tourists (I assume they're not American) celebrating the holiday with us. I was so proud to celebrate the country where so many lives were and are sacrificed so that my dear children can live in such comfort and simplicity. I love my country and feel so privileged live on this hallowed land.

How fun! It's too bad we went to DC different times. It would've been fun to meet up with you guys! The DC temple is beautiful! unfortunatly we didn't get to see it when we were there. Your family is so cute! We miss you guys!
Erin you are too sweet!! It was SO fun to have you guys over! Come back and see us anytime!! Lincoln and I are still quoting Hyrum all the time... "excuse me, excuse me, airplane!" He kept us all entertained!
What a fun trip! We are actually going to D.C. tomorrow, so now I am totally ready to go! I love the picture of Ivy dead asleep! I know after a day of outings I feel the same way.
