In true Rhode Island fashion we took a family vacation to...Southern Rhode Island! This is a popular thing to do around here but it seems kind of crazy when it takes you longer to pack the car than it does to get to your actual vacation spot! We had a family reunion with the Ben's side of the family and rented a house in Charlestown. It was a beautiful location and had a little bit for everyone.
Beach, Birds, Beer, Bakery, and Boats (well, actually kayaks).
I think this is one of the few pictures I have of the house, it had a huge yard that went down to the water. Aunt Carolyn was helping Claire watch the kayaking action!
Blake's first kayak ride with Grand Uncle Arn!
Great Aunt Kathy and Claire watched from the dock.
Here comes Aunt Tia! (Julia)
So happy to be with Aunt Carolyn.
Grandma O'Donnell helping Blake get ready for the kayak.
The place allowed small dogs so Otis went on vacation with us.
He was happy to be with the family and enjoyed a lot of couch time.
Beach Baby!
Claire had no fear of the big waves.
Quick family photo before everyone parted ways (Ben was working already so he missed the photo).
Thanks everyone for the fun weekend!
We so enjoyed our visit with you. Wish we were closer. Missing you already. Hope Blake's started his bird list. Next time we'll get Claire her birding outfit. Love, Aunt Kathy & Uncle Arn
