it was a very happy fathers day post 2 of 2

We had an action packed Saturday and I forgot my camera... so I had to hijak a few pictures from Kris and Jen's blogs. We started off at Taylors last softball game. She did awesome... hit a triple! She's quite the Little Papi if I do say so myself. After the game, we grabbed some lunch and then went home to meet up with Kristin adn her kids who stopped by Newport on their way home to visit us. Will and Kate are too cute for words and are growing up way too fast.

We had a birthday party for Pop Pops Saturday afternoon (since his birthday was technically on Fathers Day and that would have been just TOO exciting for one day) then dropped Maddie off at my parents house to go to bed and Jim and I got to go "out" with the rest of the girls! We drank some great margaritas at a mexican place on the beach and then walked along the beach after dinner and just relaxed. It was so nice to get out and spend some QT with my sisters (and Tay of course).

The next day was Fathers Day and Maddie dressed up in her finest sailor outfit just for Pop Pops. We knew he'd love it.

Later, whole gang came over to celebrate Fathers Day and of course... visit the babe. The cousins piled over in droves and we had a blast. Somehow we ended up with the guys in the livingroom watching the Sox and the US Open and the women out on the back deck. We didn't mind... and I'm pretty sure the guys didn't either.

Can't think of a caption cute enough for this picture...

We headed back to the airport on Monday for a long... delayed trip back home. Air travel is becoming less and less enjoyable. Not because of Maddie, but because of the over-crowded and delayed flights. Yuck. Maddie was as trooper and even made a new friend Paulo the Steward on our flight home. He made Maddie smile and laugh and would make funny faces at her when he'd walk by the entire flight... pretty cute.

It was very sad to leave this time... luckily we're headed back up there for a week long vacation on the Cape in August so I'll get to see everyone again then. Love you guys and miss you already!
