sheep, goats, cows and corn...oh my!

We had such a fun time with Jen and Tay at a petting zoo in Portsmouth, RI. The girls are still talking about how one of the goats bit Jen Jens bottom!!

sweet girls playing "vavo"

Nana told the girls that the cane at their house was Vavos. They had so much fun playing with it out in the front yard.

silly shots!

the girls love taking pictures of themselves and of others. Here are just a few of a silly lunch with Auntie Jen Jen!

quick trip to concord

While in New England we took a really quick trip up to Concord, NH to see my old stomping grounds and I'm so glad we did. I hadn't been up there in at least 10 years and it was so great to see it again.

We hit the planetarium, drove
by the high school and our old house, went to Whites Park and Granite State Candy and had dinner with friends.

What a great time we had and the girls really enjoyed it as well. So glad we were able to go.

maddie hits the jackpot!

Literally!

While in Newport, we went to the arcade where Maddie literally hit the jackpot on one of the games and won 1800 tickets!! We didn't think that really happened!

We also had lots of fun playing ski ball and air hockey.

I wonder...

I wonder if Vavu knew when he built this wall how many kids would get pure enjoyment from jumping off this wall over and over and over again!!

Thank you Vavu!

meeting cousin riley

While in Fall River, we got to meet cutie cousin Riley!

He is just a month older than Caroline and is such a sweet little guy. The girls had lots of fun with him.
