Block Island

We were so fortunate to be invited out for a week on Block Island again. We took a two and a half hour train ride to the ferry and an hour long ferry ride to get there. Ava got very sea sick (I think we were all feeling queasy). She left a nice pile of vomit for some unfortunate person to clean up, but besides that we arrived there without a hitch. Block Island is such a relaxing place! We love the house that we stayed at (thanks to the Bulls!) and the view from the house is amazing. Of course we were limited in what we could do with a four month old but we did a lot of what we do best...lounging. We also went to the beach, did a little walking around, played some cornhole (basically bean bag toss), watched a few chick flicks (the guys were into it too...don't deny it, Chris) and just enjoyed each other's company. David's back acted up again so he was babysitting Arden a lot. Ava was obsessed with the hot tub, which was so cute. She pronounced it with an emphasis on "tub" so it sounded really funny. One really cool thing about the house is the outdoor shower with a view of the ocean (just had to make sure you warned the other family members not to go outside during your shower). Here are some out of order pics.

Ava loved feeding the animals at the farm. Pass the hand sanitizer please.



All Arden could do was lay there on the beach under the tent (sounds like me). Love those cheeks!



Nice snooze on the beach
