Nicholas and Ali in the pool

Luckily the kids have taken to the pool. They even have learned how to clean it if needed (thank goodness!).

Here are a few pics of them the first week here in town.

Carly and Nicholas enjoying their shakes....

One thing the kids have gotten addicted to is a milkshake. They are everywhere and very good. That, and now they like Grape or Orange Fanta. Of course, Carly calls it Fa Fa but it is delicious just the same.

Nicholas at the Mugg and Bean where they also have live rabbits, chickens and birds in cages??? Oh well, keeps the kids entertained.

A few pictures from the Newport Holiday Boat Parade

The Hucko's invited us to join them on their boat to experience the Newport Holiday Boat parade. The weather worked nicely and between the great snacks, the Christmas lights and the good friends the night was quite fun.



























(Nicholas on the boat - he's a bit mad that the the seal is playing the role of "Jack" --- He wants to be "king of the world")

Carly and Tina settling in for the flight - Carly is a fan of the comfy business class seats.




















Can you guess which kid slept on the red-eye flight and which one played Nintendo DS?
