We all had a fabulous time at The Pariseault's in RI! Especially Max who was thrilled to spend his days swimming in Uncle Dickie's pool and at the beach. He and Angela were inseparable while there unless he got to see his other cousins Gavin, Vicky, Hailey and Alexa. Hannah and Andrew were still in school and super busy with sports and friends but we enjoyed the time we got to spend with them. Cousins Richard and Collin came in for a very brief visit from New York to see the air show which turned out not to be the greatest for little kids....way too loud! We also got to see cousin Sydney who is just 6 months older than Vivian. Someday if we move to the East Coast I'm sure they will be great friends! Twelve cousins in all including Max and Viv!
The weather was good, mostly hot and humid and we got to experience a good East Coast thunderstorm on our last day. I found out Viv is quite the water bug. She loved being thrown into waves at the beach and jumping into daddy's arms in the pool. She is in the language explosion phase of toddlerhood and her new favorite phrase is.....babing suit on....babing suit on....
We tried to soak up all of the Rhode Island goodies we could....aweful awefuls, dells lemonade, lobster rolls, coffee milk, Allies donuts and clam chowder.
We stayed one night up in Portsmouth New Hampshire. Charles thought it amazing that we could hit 4 states in one day! RI, Mass, New Hampshire and Maine.
