Newport Vacation

After Hurricane Irene left Newport and power was restored, we managed to get in 4 days of family vacation with good weather.   The best part was that Shawna and the girls came and stayed with us for a couple days.  The kids all loved spending time together and as parents it was so nice to see them build their relationships as cousins.    It is just a little sad that we don't get to see each other more often!   

We did a couple trips to the beach and witnessed the aftermath of Irene.  The beach was littered with stranded clamns -- it was actually a bit sad and overwhelming to see them all washed up. The girls were able to enjoy the ocean a bit and while Liam mostly played on the beach and Quinn tried to eat all the sand.
