Claire goes to New England!

On Saturday July 24th we took our first family trip back to New England to visit with Melissa's family and our friends. We have had a busy week seeing everyone and introducing Claire to things Melissa did as a child. We had a slight accident with the camera and video camera as they decided to check out the Atlantic ocean, so while they are drying out we are a little short

on photos and videos.

Enjoying the Lovejoy's pool- thanks for creating some waves to surf Kelly and Alexis!

Yummy Lobster Rolls on the deck in Portsmouth with the Grandparents. A few nights before we had shared a great dinner at this same restaurant with one of Dave's DKE brothers Pete, his wife Theresa and their daughter Isabella (somehow we did not get a picture of them together), and my niece Emily.

Claire and Brandon saying goodbye! After a fun week in Maine/New Hampshire it was time to head to Boston for a weekend with the Simmons ladies and Christine & Brian's wedding.

We also met up with another one of Dave's DKE brothers, his wife Sara and their son Liam.

We had a great time introducing Claire to my family and a whole lot of East Coast Families!
