We just returned from our family vacation to Newport. We looked forward to this trip all summer. It was our favorite Newport trip so far because we got to introduce Eliza to the beach. Unfortunately Calli and Ben were unable to come this year due to starting school. Katelan flew out for the weekend and Dan came out during the week. At the end of the week Scott said he could have stayed all month. We can't get enough of the Newport weather, morning jogs on the boardwalk, and playing at the beach all day. We stayed in a beach house right on the boardwalk so we were able to put Eliza down for her morning and afternoon naps. It was the perfect trip for Eliza. We can't wait until next year!
Bike ride to the wedge. I was loving all of the charming houses along the way.

the little ones didn't last long...
Scott's sister Amy moved to San Diego this summer for Robbie's PhD program. It was so much fun spending the day with them.
We thought it would be fun to try Sea World this year. We enjoyed seeing Shamu, but it was HOT, real hot. We didn't last long without any shade or misters. By the time we left Eliza had red puffy eyes and slept the entire ride home.
Philip tried body surfing for the first time this year. Each year he watches his brothers surf and wants to be big just like them. Watching his face after catching his first wave was priceless, pure joy.
Cute Tiff is pregnant with baby number 5 in October. It didn't stop her from getting out in the waves. It was so nice to catch up with them.
We ate Seaside donuts everyday, of course. Every year we have a new favorite donuts. This year we loved getting their ham and cheese/ almond croissants for breakfast.
