Welcome to the family, Dunkin!

Backyard fun!

 Riding the gondola at the zoo
 So excited to add to our family--Bradley is a big brother now! We adopted Dunkin from the San Diego Humane Society. He was about 9 weeks old and weighed only 2 lbs when he came home with us. Bradley has been pretty gentle and loves playing with the kitty.


 Our first trip to Chuck E Cheese--very fun!


 Letting daddy cut his hair with the clippers. This actually went much more smoothly than going to the kids salon.



 Out for a bike ride
 Playing with his hopper


 A beautiful day at the beach. Bradley was ready to go home at this point

 Another trip to Sea World


 Letting Bradley pick the next attraction

 Waiting for daddy to ride the Atlantis flume
 Unfortunately, when it was my turn, I totally got stuck on the ride. The car behind mine actually got stuck in the middle and I luckily made it almost to the end. After about 40 min, we were finally rescued! This is me walking out after the workers helped us off the boat. I think I am done with rides at SeaWorld!
 Climbing on the cargo nets
 Met some celebrities. Bradley was dancing for them

 Perfect way to cool off on a hot day





In the afternoon, we headed to the beach again. Bradley wanted to try surfing:



 He loved riding the boogie board in the waves while we pulled him around
 Drumming with Elmo
 Dunkin definitely likes playing in water. Weird cat.
 Another hot day


 Bradley went to his first gymnastics class last week. Here he's doing a summersault with Coach Sed.
 Loves the pool
 A final dinner with his crew. Tessa and Anthony will be moving away from San Diego in a few days so we are sad to see them go.
 Kitties love laundry baskets

Northeast Vacation: Part 3

Finally in Maine!

The Portland Headlight at Fort Williams


 Taking in the spirit of Maine
 The Lobster Shack at Two Lights State Park. For my PA family/friends, the restaurant is like The Fence but with lobster and on the ocean. Delicious!
 And yes, that's Bradley eating an ENTIRE cheeseburger



Mac and Cheese picnic with cousins Aiden and Riley

 Playground fun with Aunt Carrie




Spending the day at Aunt Kathy's house. The kids love the golf cart!




 His first time wearing a rain jacket and he loved it
 A full day of rain means we go bowling! This was Bradley's first time--luckily, Aiden and Riley showed him how to do it.




 His favorite part was probably wearing the bowling shoes

 Popsicles with Aiden
 Trip to the Portland Narrow Gauge Railroad








 He honked the horn!

 We spent one morning at the beach on Kettle Cove. Beautiful sunshine even if the water was very cold.


 Trying out Grammy's new beach chair

 Picnic at Uncle Shawn's








 Grammy and her grandkids
 Silly picture
 Rubbing Molly's belly
 On our way home, we flew through JFK airport in NY. The Jetblue terminal has a toddler play area. Not the most exciting playground but awesome to have a little space for him to run around during our layover.


We had a fantastic trip and certainly wish we could see family and friends more often :)
