20 Months (July) :: Vacations :: 4th of July in VA and CT

Summer is finally here! After such a busy month in June, we kicked off a few weeks of vacationing in July. We started out by driving to Virginia to visit my sisters, Kate and Elaine (and their families). Then we drove back up to Connecticut to my mom's house to play on the beach.

Sophia and Ethan packed in along with all of the stuff for Colton and Waylon...

Colton, Ethan, and Sophia had fun playing together...

In Connecticut... Gram and Ethan play on the beach. Ethan couldn't wait to explore!

First lobster. A picture is worth a thousand words... (we did try it again with more butter a few days later and they liked it much better)

Yay for the beach!

Watching TV at Gram's house... We don't watch TV at home, so both Sophia and Ethan were mesmerized. Much to my dismay, all we could find to watch was that crazy purple dinosaur...
