Rhode Island

My grandma had her 86th birthday at the end of March. She had never met Daniel or Liam so we decided to take the boys to meet her for her birthday! We got up super early in the morning and drove down to Rhode Island. I really never thought I'd have to drive south to visit my grandma.

We took her to breakfast at one of our favorite breakfast places. The food was so good and Daniel kept asking for grandma to sit by him and hold his hand and color with him. So sweet!








This muffin was huge and he ate almost all of it!

They made his pancakes in the shape of dinosaurs
After breakfast we drove by the ocean so the boys could see it but it was too cold to get out. Then we went to visit my Aunt Pam and Uncle Barry. The boys had fun at first running around but got tired towards the end and very cranky. Uncle Barry was Liam's best friend. He just wanted to cuddle with him in the rocking chair and I think that if he had done it just a little longer they both would've fallen asleep in the chair. It was very sweet. Daniel was a little nervous with all the new but he was sad when he found out that great grandma wasn't coming home with us.







We skipped the boys nap time so between getting up at 4am and then skipping their naps they were cranky and tired by the time 4pm rolled around and we were heading home. Daniel was not in picture taking mode so we sadly didn't get any pictures of him with great grandma and Liam was almost asleep so we didn't get any with him either :(


It was a long 4 hours home (mostly because of Boston traffic) and Liam slept for maybe 20 minutes and Daniel didn't sleep at all so they were exhausted when we got home. We had to feed them but Dan was too tired to eat so Liam ate a little and then they went to bed. We were so tired that we didn't last much longer after them. It was nice to go visit my grandma though and have her meet the boys. I'm sure it was the best birthday present :)
