... we stopped by the farmers market and hung out with some friends ...
... and while we were there, Grandma Susy, Grandpa John, and (surprise!) Uncle Alex appeared at our house!
Madeline was excited to show them Frozen -- she likes to cuddle up during the scary parts.
Together we made a strawberry rhubarb pie, which Madeline also found exciting.
On Sunday morning, I ran a 5k at Roger Williams Park. There was fun stuff for kiddos there.
And have fun the kiddos did (or so I'm told).
After I finished, we wandered back across the park.
After that, there was lots of reading:
(And there was a much beloved coffee cup acquired in the car.)
Then there was some playing outside.
And after that was more reading.
All in all, it was a lovely visit.
The next few days passed as weekdays do.
Then we spent yesterday in Connnecticut visiting Lauren, Dan, and baby Emily.
Given two dogs, our human company, the beach ...
... and this kiddie pool ...
... Madeline was in heaven! (As were the rest of us.)
The kiddie pool, though, was a particularly big hit.
On a foray down to the beach, we found many interesting shells -- crabs in particular.
The babies enjoyed the beach, too.
All in all, it was a lovely visit!
Then today, we took a short hike at Fisherville Brook.
Oliver enjoyed himself -- we thought he'd sleep, but he was too busy taking in his surroundings.
Madeline started out strong ...
... but grew hungry and grumpy when she dropped a bunch of her snacks into the dirt.
Still, Fisherville Brook is a beautiful place ...
... and on the way home, we got food. So happiness was restored.
Love these! What good times your family has together. See you soon....
