Another fun day

Well another fun day for the girls here in RI. Despite the heat today, Kaleigh's activity choice was the park twice! She enjoyed running around and meeting almost everyone there. She was ready to go when she "started to get sweaty". Then our evening meal was cooked by Chef Boombie and Chef Daddy. She was so excited to be cooking. She knew today was the day for pizza and she woke up at 7am saying "Is daddy here because I am ready to make pizza?"! The finished product was pretty tasty!

Today the McKenna team and the Wilbur family took the Newport Scenic Railroad around the area. Although it was raining and storming quite a bit we still had a great time. It was the perfect activity for the kids and we all enjoyed the 80 minute ride!

GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!

Just love this picture and wanted to share it!

Happy Birthday Kaleigh!

So today our girl turned 3 years old. The time sure does fly when you are having fun (or losing your sanity ;) ! ) Anyway our day was jam packed with fun stuff for the big girl. The day began nice and early and filled with surprises. Mommy and Daddy had decorated the house and we had saved all the gifts and cards that people had sent. The big hit for the morning was her new tea set from GGma and GGpa. I believe making tea and "chatting" are her favorite things to do. Then we drove up to Warwick for lunch at Chuck E. Cheese and then we hit up Toys R Us. Both huge successes except that we told Kaleigh she could get any 2 things from the toy store and she left with a Princess table and chairs. No toys and she passed on the second item!?!? Then we chilled home for a bit and allowed the little one to get a good nap and allowed the birthday girl to decorate her cake. She thought the Princess shimmer gels were pretty cool. Then we packed up our sandwiches for dinner and headed to the beach. This was the only activity Kaleigh asked to do all week. Daddy and her even caught the last carousel ride of the day there. Then we walked over to a park on the water and sang, ate cake and celebrated with the Wilbur family. We were able to be there for a beautiful sunset, a perfect way to end a wonderful day. Kaleigh got a bubble bath and then headed for bed. We are not sure if she is exhausted but mommy and daddy know that they are but it's all good because today was all about the best 3 yr old girl! Thank you so much to all those who sent cards and gifts to make this day so special.

Petting Zoo

This morning the girls and I headed over to the Simmons petting zoo for a sing-along. We went with Aunt Jolene and Sean and afterwards we all headed to McDonald's for a quick meal before naps! Easy on the goat's ear there Kaleigh!

Our Weekend

We had a fun-filled weekend! It start on Saturday going up to the Providence Children's Museum. We were there for almost 2 hours and I think Kaleigh could have stayed for another 2 hours. When we walked in it looked like such a simple place, nothing state-of-the-art but Kaleigh's imagination took over and she had a blast. One of her favorite areas was the ship because she got to sleep in a rack just like her daddy.

Then on Sunday we ventured up to Boston to see Aunt Sara and Uncle Scott before they move to Princeton at the end of the week. We were fortunately joined by Adam Wehrenberg and his fiancee Jeanette and it was really good to see them and discuss their wedding plans. We did some lunch at Quincy market at Cheers and then went to the New England Aquarium. Kaleigh loves sea creatures but I think especially loved her time with her Aunt Sara. Our time at the aquarium was concluded at the IMAX theater where we watched a 3-d movie about dolphins and whales. We had a delicious dinner at Bertucci's and then headed home. Fun days for everyone so today was a low-key day of recovery. Tomorrow the girls and I are headed to the farm for a musical celebration.
