Lilly's New Ride

With Dillon learning how to ride a bike without training wheels and Emily and Cameron already off, Joe and I discovered we cannot keep up with the kids anymore when we take a walk. We got some unwanted free bikes for us through someone in the ward a few months ago. Then, we started to look for something for Lilly. I found a great thing for her, and thanks to her birthday and Nana and G-daddy, here it is.....

She loves it!!! It's called the Kangaroo Wee Ride. I love that she's in front of us when we ride. It feels safe to me especially since she's a monkey and always climbing in and out of things. We can keep an eye on her.

They're about to finish a park right down the street with lots of bike trails. We're ready now!

A Trip to the North

We had a wonderful vacation up in Massachusetts visiting Joe's family. While there, we spent some time on Cape Cod as well. We celebrated Emily's 10th birthday (a breakfast out with Daddy)...

There was some hot-tubbing with the cousins... beach time with Grampa...

seashell-finding...

beach-walking (these 2 were inseparable)...

swimming in the ocean (Is it a little cold, Cam?)...

beach baseball (Emily didn't mind swimming for the ball in the water)...

waterfall jumping into the pool...

time with fun uncles (Joe's brothers Jon and Jeff)...

lounging and relaxing...

and swimming in the pool...

All of the Benoit kids together with Sue and Joe.

It was a great trip. Also had great fun visiting with old friends in RI, visiting the Warwick Ward, and driving by our old house. Can't wait to do it again!
