May 11-13 was a weekend full of celebrating. Ethan and I drove up to Newport for Madeline's First Communion. It just so happened to fall on Mother's Day weekend and Mark and Erin's 12th wedding anniversary. I got a little camera happy but it was hard not to take lots pics of the nieces and nephew and the pretty scenery.
The Via's
The Leavitt's (minus Erin, who was tending to a mouse problem)
Running through the dandelions



Mark and Erin took us all on a boat cruise around Newport. We learned about mansions, famous people who have lived in them, boats, etc. It was a great day to be on a cruise.
"Cling Rock" ---A house built on a rock in Narragasset Bay only reachable by boat.
Naval Housing at Fort Adams. Not bad, eh?
An America's Cup boat
Hammersmith Farm---JFK wedding reception site and summer house. Now it's a private residence.
Dinner with the adults
Madeline and her first communion cake

First rosary
We had a great time with everyone and we hope to get back up to RI this summer.
