Cousin Weekend!

We were all so excited to have cousin Krissy and her family come visit for Memorial Day Weekend. My kids adore her babies, Mikey and Mila, and even though it was a tad chaotic at times with five kids 6 and under, we had tons of fun catching up. Laughing until we cried, drinking a lot of fun drinks, Amazing Racin' it to the water taxi, jammin' out to some 80's band, eating at a ridiculously over-priced historical restaurant, feeding starving goats, and picnicking in the rain at a topiary garden...good times and awesome memories made. Thank you Kristina for taking the time to visit us so many times in Newport...and for always, always, making me laugh!! Love you, baby cousin!

 80s music rocks.

We took a trip to Simmons farm the next day to feed the animals. Such a cute little petting zoo. For $1 you get an ice cream cone full of feed to give to the absolutely starving animals. They literally fought over pellets of grub. 

After we flew kites at Brenton Point State Park along Ocean Dr.

 Last, but certainly not least, we visited The Green Animals. It's a beautiful spot in Portsmouth full of topiary gardens and over 80 green animals. The kids loved it...rain and all. Didn't bother them a bit!

Mikey is hiding behind the branch...

 Sisters.

 Ella was terrified. Madeline was not.

 Pretty much my life when trying to take pictures of the three of them.
