Trip to Rhode Island!

I was only home a few short days before we were off again! This time to Rhode Island! I am telling you! I am a World Traveler! I was particularly excited about this trip! I got to see my Great Grandmother again - who I hadn't seen since November! I was much smaller then! I also got to see my Grandma, Gramps, Uncle Kris, and Uncle Greg! I had SO much fun!


First stop when we got to Rhode Island was to Great Grandmother's! I love being with her! She fusses over me so much! She is the best! While I was there I also got to see my extended family as well! It was wonderful! We all went in the pool and it was so much fun!

After spending 2 1/2 days with Great Grandma, we headed over to Grandma and Gramps for the rest of the trip! Talk about being doted on! My uncles got on the floor and played with me and my Grandma would just walk and walk and walk with me. At one time, she did the FUNNIEST thing ever! She played this game, "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not" with some flowers! I thought it was HYSTERICAL! Check it out - but make sure your volume is up!

Ha, ha, ha! I still crack up when I watch that!
The last thing we did was go to Jack's...mommy's favorite restaurant! I enjoyed the clams! I just chewed and chewed and chewed on the shell! Felt good on my teeth!

Well, it was a fun trip and I loved seeing my family in Rhode Island! I can't wait to go back! I miss them already! Next, I will tell you all about my beach trip. But first, check out some more pictures of my Rhode Island trip!

My First Trip to the Beach!

Hi Everybody!
Well, the past month has had A LOT of excitement! I got to go to the beach for the first time! Daddy, Mommy, and I met Grammy Nancy, Aunt Lynn, Uncle Rod, Aunt Andrea, and my cousins in Destin, FL. It began with mommy waking me up Saturday morning at 4:00 AM. Needless to say, I was NOT impressed. But I was a trooper and was good for ten of the eleven hour drive. I thought about being good for the final hour but what fun is that? I wanted to see how frazzled I could get daddy! It worked!

The beach was so much fun! Mommy says it was the worst year ever cause Hurricane Dolly pushed all the jellyfish to Destin. You could barely get in the ocean! But my brave cousins Aleksandra, Austin, and Bryce did it. Mommy and Daddy did not (chickens!). Even Cousin Libby tried to get in! But her mommy wouldn't let her either. Oh well. I enjoyed the sand, as you can see, and just crawling around. Everyone else enjoyed laying out.

We did take a walk to the pier one night. It was a nice walk and we all had a good time. I got to hang out with my cousins to I had a blast.

At one point, Aunt Lynn had the brilliant idea of telling Mommy I could get worms by eating the sand. Mommy, of course, became neurotic and shoved a paci in my mouth every time we were at the beach. I didn't want it. The sand was much tastier.

We had great weather until the last day of our trip. Then it started to get stormy. We were down at the beach, and I kept tellin them it was time to go in. I finally just headed in on my own!

Well, that is it for the beach trip! My next post will probably be when I turn one! Mommy is already crying about it! Good grief! In the meantime, check out my other beach pictures!
