Happy birthday Mom!

 Hey it's Mom's birthday! Dad made a special breakfast, and then we went to the zoo! 

The kids brought notebooks to take notes on the animals. Heather was very into it and took notes at almost every animal. 

There was a baby giraffe

Always pretending to be tigers

Lunch break

Wilson was happy to see his favorite elephant, Duncan

Silly faces forever

Always playing in the rickshaw 

Here's a fun video: Heather went back and forth across this bar. Last time we were at the zoo, she couldn't even just hang from it! 

These are real flowers 🌺 

The elephants started a wrestling match! Look though the trees

And then the hippo was out playing with a ball! 

Liana asked for a video. It was fun to watch: 

Look out, Wilson! 

There was a new playground that opened recently, and it was really fun to visit

And finally, some treats! 

What a lovely day! Here's to 40 years! 

Home again home again

 We had a smooth day of travels and now we are home! Miss you, Ama and Baba! 

Beach and boats

 Last day of our East Coast adventures! We spent the day at the beach and in the boats. 

It was a bit chilly, but perfect for having a snack by the water

Liana was running a pie shop

Then we decided to take the boats over to the big beach for a picnic lunch

Liana did great on the peddle boat

Heather and Wilson went in the motor boat, and Wilson even got to steer 

We had a nice time playing at the big beach

And of course, we had to get Dells again! 

Heather was the Dells queen 👑 

Back in the boats

Then it was time for dinner with cousins! 

Playing go fish

And then we set up a beach bonfire for s'mores 

The kids had a great time playing in the grass

While the adults relaxed

Time for s'mores! 

What a lovely evening

Last books before bed 

And then we get on an airplane and head back home! It's been wonderful Rhode Island! Love you family! ❤️🦞❤️🦞❤️
