A day on the Newport Harbor Shuttle and lunch at the Lobster Bar...Scott ate a lobster roll while kids and I dined on non-seafood items!

She was suddenly serious as the boat started out...and then when we got off the boat...she was crying because she didn't want to leave the boat!

Nice bridge...only a $4 toll and that's one way!  We had to pay to get an E-Z pass and so that we could save...now that we are RI residents...it's .83 cents one way!  It still amazes me that there's no cost of living allowance for this area...there are so many things that are nearly as or just expensive as Hawaii!  Not to mention the tolls everywhere!

Connor liked this boat, he said they used it in the Pirates of the Caribbean...we did see the real black pearl in Hawaii a few years ago

View from the harbor shuttle...this is some kind of yacht club!

Boat ride!

Stylin in Connor's sneakers and fancy beads!

Scott and I were noticing Amelia's grip on the pen...it was really good! She's so different from Connor because at this age, Connor wanted nothing to do with coloring at all...so we didn't even know if he could grip a pen! But she loves to color! Connor started actively coloring and drawing between 4 and 5 years...and now he loves it...just funny to see the differences whether it's boy/girl or different personalities!

At dinner a few nights ago...she was just being cute, again!

Phone and purse...ready to go!
