New York/Connecticut Trip 2023 - Part I


The day after Kade's birthday, we woke early for the RDU airport and a Starbucks breakfast!
 

After a little wait for our rental car at JFK, we arrived in White Plains to Katherin's home! The cousins settled right in playing games and running amok throughout the house - their favorite game was "basement ping pong" - per Kade.


Lots of energy, so we decided to walk over to Claire's school for the boys to play on the outdoor equipment.


Maddox was cute - "Can you send the picture to my mom please?"


It was a bit of a humid day, so even the adults got in, relaxing on some swings! 


The following day, we headed straight for Aunt Beverly's in Fairfield for a nice brunch with family. 


Uncle Mike, Christine, Bo and Alex also stopped in. Alex just turned 2 in May and is a solid little boy!! 


Look at that scowl! He knows about taking pictures!


Even though the weather looked iffy the entire time we were there, we ended up with a nice beach day after all. Kade kept asking me "where are the waves??" Sorry bud, only tiny waves in the Sound. 





Looks very New England-ish, doesn't it?? 






Maddox is so patient. Kade buried him in the sand and he waited even longer for a picture!



Siblings!!


The appeal of the beach was wearing thin - lots of debris floating in the water (seaweed, little sticks, plastic garbage - see above video - ugh) and the water was a bit cold. Soon after, we decided to walk to the playground and go crab hunting (same place as Brock and I did last year). 


We found them! Crab with BIG pincher!




Cutie cousins!




We headed back to Aunt Beverly's to get cleaned up and then head over to Christine's for dinner. Pizza and hot dogs! (hot dogs for those who don't like pizza.... aka Kade)



Alex was such a trooper with those bigger boys!


The boys were mesmerized by Boss Baby playing on the tv. It was also getting a little late for my little guy. Time to head back to Katherin's for another fun filled day tomorrow!!
(And yes, Christine is 9 months pregnant in this picture!)
