more cousins
April 23, 2012 – 8:14 pm
In March we were lucky enough to sneak in a visit with Shawn’s cousin and her baby. They live in Seattle but Rene was here for work-you may remember her dad was here in Jan. Once again I had the honor of babysitting. Love babies. This made me so happy. First time meeting this little guy …. he is a doll. He was totally into my kids (and vice versa) it was a fun few days
keepin’ busy – The Cliffwalk
April 22, 2012 – 4:35 pm
While I was finally sorting through the Florida pics, don’t think we weren’t keepin busy
Truth be told, although we’ve been keepin’ busy there hasn’t been a ton of new photos….but I will share what I have
Back in March, on a beautiful spring day….we jumped in the car around 9am and made our way to Newport, RI so we could walk the whole Cliffwalk. In case you don’t remember from my previous post when Shawn and I were in RI, The Cliffwalk is a beautiful 3.something mile walk that winds the coast on one side with mega mansions on the other. Probably 2 miles of it is semi/paved while the rest is pretty rough terrain. It proved to be a great workout because not only did we walk the whole thing, but when we got to the end, we had to walk back to our car…lol. We walked the street back though as we weren’t up for the rough terrain again!)
Here’s a mix of iphone and camera pics. In the distance you can see the beach…that’s where the path begins…we were probably a mile from there at this point
some parts are fenced, but plenty is not
didn’t expect to see a Pagoda type building along the walk…not sure if this is a guest house or a pool house or just a “sun room”, but it def wasn’t the main house
all the little tunnels towards the end were especially cool
and after walking 7miles, a treat is definitely in order! Cupcake Charlies…mmmmmmmmm; located in the heart of downtown Newport.
and that’s a wrap

our vacation ended with a bang….the New Years Eve fireworks at Disney….doesn’t really get any better than that! I was hoping to be in front of the castle to take some castle/firework shots but we were still riding rides at almost midnight, so we watched the fireworks from a different vantage point–the castle in the background. It was still beautiful and no doubt the perfect ending to our wonderful trip. We finally made our way out of the park around 1:15…what a day!
here’s hoping I get back the missing pics from my other memory card…a full day at Universal Island of Adventure is missing….boo hoo ….that’s Dr. Suess land and Harry Potter World… and of course Syd’s bday pics.
The many colors of the castle

Electrical Parade
April 19, 2012 – 7:34 pm
I think this parade was pretty much the same since the last time I saw it, which was a quite a while ago
We had ok seats, since we opted to go to the later parade (during peak season they do this parade twice a night) but even at that, let me tell you getting pics was no easy task…people constantly getting in the way…lol
