We just got back from a visit to Boston to see the family and it was a blast! It was jammed-packed with fun times and visiting family and friends so get ready for tons of photos (sorry in advance!).
We left on Thursday afternoon and the kids were rip- roaring ready to go!
On Friday morning Uncle Matt, Aunt Dina and Cousins Ryan and John took us to their favorite beach in Dennis on the Cape and we spent the day there. It was so great. The kids had such a great time and the weather was perfect.
On Saturday we went to Cousin Scott and Lynsey's annual Fourth of July party. It was so great to see a lot of family and friends and Kaitlyn and Mikey got to see their first fireworks!! Kaitlyn even made her first smores with Daddy! Such a great party and fun time playing with cousins.

Thursday Mimi and Papi took us to the beach at Nantasket. We also got to see our friends Kelly and Roger who have a lemonade stand there. We played on the beach and in the water with Grandma and Grandpa. It was awesome.
Friday Mimi took us to a great park to play.
Later that night, everyone came over to Mimi and Papi's house for a swim and Chinese food!
Saturday we went back to Uncle Matt's beach. We went really early in the morning and Uncle Matt cooked us breakfast on the beach-- yummmm! So much fun.

Sunday was a big day- it was Kelsie's Christening! We all went to the church for the baptism and then to Kelli and Dennis' house after for a big party. It was an awesome time and of course, Kelsie was an angel!!

And just like that, our trip was over. It's nice to be home, but we miss everyone already. The kids had such a great time playing with cousins, Aunts and Uncles and especially being spoiled rotten by Mimi and Papi. Until next time.....
