Little Rhody

On June 12 we ventured out on our trip to Rhode Island. My sister got me a plane ticket to go back to visit and go to my brother's graduation. It was a looonnngg drive to Idaho Falls and then to Salt Lake. Then it was a REALLY LONG day of flying to Rhode Island. When we finally got there it was wicked HUMID and I thought I was going to die. After that though, the ENTIRE time was cold and RAINY!!!



We got there right in time for the Gaspee Day Parade! What a good old tradition, and we got to see Uncle George and Pop in the parade which was really cool. Pop was excited to show off some of his great-grands!

The one (mostly) sunny day we went to the Roger William's Park Zoo. Carter obviously doesn't get it yet, but it was nice to just walk around in the sun, and the butterfly exhibit was pretty cool too!


The drive to Pennsylvania was another adventure. It should have been an 8 hour drive, but instead took 14 because of the crazy pouring rain and flooding roads! Once we got there we had lots of fun shopping, going out to dinner, doing pedicures at the hotel, and swimming in the pool. Danny was so excited to have the family there for his graduation, and it was awesome to see him accomplish something so great!



Carter's cousins Sammy and Natali both loved being able to have two weeks with him, even though Natali got caught stealing his binki, "spanking him in the head", and pinching him. Sammy also wanted to share and gave him an oreo which I discovered when I got him out of his carseat and there was chocolate all over his face! What a surprise that was.. well he survived!


It was nice to spend time with family and friends, despite all the crazy things that happened on our trip~!
