    2011 Air Show shots

    I actually went to quonset on Sunday for the (record setting attendance/”sold out”) airshow.  It was my first time going -vs- watching from either the beach near our house or by boat, which was awesome.  I had Elias with me and this was during his nap time so he eventually hit his limit and asked…

  • Air Show BBQ 2011

    Air Show BBQ 2011

    We had our annual air show BBQ this weekend.  It was a ton of fun.  He had about 15 adults this year with somewhere around 10 kids.  The kids had just as much fun as the adults running around our yard and our neighbors yard as well as the house.  The adults got to enjoy a nice…

    Beavertail 6.18.2011

    My sister was in town over the weekend so I dragged her out on the one “partly cloudy” morning which turned into a total gray ugly morning, but we still made the best of it and had some fun.  We decided to go to Beavertail as she loves lighthouses (who doesn’t) and it’s the easiest…

  • Aunt Jess & Uncle Ben came over!

    Aunt Jess & Uncle Ben came over!

    We had a great weekend this weekend with Aunt Jess and Uncle Ben flying in to Rhode Island for the weekend.  We hosted dinner at our house both on Thursday night (when they flew in) and Saturday night (their last night here) in our back yard which made it a ton of fun as we…

  • J regatta!

    J regatta!

    The Js put on an awesome show in Newport for 5 days wrapping up this weekend.  I was able to get out for one day on Saturday and watch 2 races (Friday’s was postponed/cancelled and raced Saturday).  It’s amazing seeing 2 boat of this size and speed race INSIDE Narragansett bay.

  • What the Hell…..

    What the Hell…..

    Yeah, ummm…. Elias can repeat just about anything we say at this point!  Whoops!  And this one can’t be blamed on me!  We were driving home from the grocery store tonight and a pick up truck stopped in the middle of the road.  Nikki said: “What the Hell?” and Elias turned around and repeated it……

  • Stepping Stone

    Stepping Stone

    Went to Stepstone Falls this morning.  What a crappy morning to force myself out of bed (pouring rain).  But I checked the radar and it looked like it should clear so I headed out anyway.  Sat in the car for an hour reading Outdoor Photographer (mail was still in the car) and the rain stopped…

  • Gooseberry 6.5.2011

    Gooseberry 6.5.2011

    Made it out to Gooseberry again this past weekend.  It was nice to get out of the woods literally, but the sunrise was a blow-out/bluebird so it actually would have been a better stream/waterfall morning, but you can’t win them all.  There was a ton of weed there this trip and hardly any wind so…

  • Bumpa and Ganny are home!

    Bumpa and Ganny are home!

    Well my parents are finally home from Antigua for the winter!  That meant Elias and I got to go down to the boat Wednesday night so Elias could see them (they called a half an hour from the dock during tub time).  We all then went down the next night so Mom and Dad could…
