As Amy says: You need a vacation from a vacation...

I got back from our CT/NY trip and needed a day to get back into the groove of life. But im back now and feeling good. The trip was great! The weather could of been better and it is always hard to be out of your nice child- proofed house, but over all it was great. Here are a few pics from the trip.

I took the kids to see Mike's mom's grave. They are finally old enough that I could tell them about it and felt they understood.


There is nothing like going to a beach for vacation and it being to cold to go. But I just put some jackets on them and they were good to go.


To get back to CT from NY we took a ferry, the kids loved it and we got to see such a beautiful sunset.




We went to a really cool place in CT called Dinosaur Crossing. There was a lot of interesting history about the dinosaurs there and we also went on trails where the kids had to find clues along the way to get to the hidden dinosaurs.



I have made a mental note: If dinosaurs existed today, Don't let Madison near a t-rex- She is not afraid!
Skyler would rather stay near they nice plant eaters-



We also brought all the kids to see the new disney movie UP in 3D one day when it was raining. I couldnt resist taking this pic of Madi in the 3d glasses. We had to ask some random lady for a rubber band to get them to stay on her head!

There was this amazing park where they had all sorts of climbing activities- I thought this would be a great place to see if Madison really was a monkey...


OKAY- ITS TRUE- SHE IS PART MONKEY
Skyler just being himself liked the smaller and easier climbs

And even Aubrie got to get into it
Family is so fun to be around and so important- it was so nice to see everyone
