Rockport, MA

So I booked a last minute trip to go see my sister out in Rockport, MA.  She insisted on me bringing the girls so we took off on a 5 hour plane ride, ugh, the not so fun part.  My niece, Lydia was turning 1 and Erin had a very beautiful elaborate party all planned out.  The theme was ladybugs and she used every detail to transform her backyard into a ladybug garden, and a huge bounce house for the kids.  My parents and Megan were also there so it was nice to spend time with everyone.  Riley saw her first fireworks show on the coast of Gloucester and loved every minute.   She even stopped covering her ears after the first 5 minutes.  The rest of the week we went on their boat and went swimming in the ocean.  This was Ella's first time at the beach and she loved running in and out and making sandcastles with Riley.  It was beautiful and very hot weather (90s) so we got lots of sun, I even got a little tan.  Now we're back and I'm already thinking of where we could go next ;)
