fourth of july in newport...

for the second year in a row lisa and i have gone to newport for the fourth of july.  we eat at pineapples.  it's this great little bar on the water and you can see the fireworks perfectly from there.  we also meet up with some pretty great people.  :)

here are some of my bridge pics from this year.  no fireworks pics this time....i was too lazy.  ;)


















this last one is my favorite from this year. i love the moment when the sunset is still pink/purply but you can see the lights on the bridge too. :)

look...it's a bird! it's a plane! oh wait, it's both.

recently lisa and i took the kids to an air show in rhode island. it was lots of fun. the traffic and the walk was not, but i won't whine about that in this post. here are some pics from our day. :)




this was everyone's favorite part. it was so very cool.


conner was up visiting john and the kids so we invited him to come too.








izzarella with her ear plugs.


i think ian took this. :)



i attempted to at least be in some of these pics. if you ever get a chance to go to an air show you should. this one was free. we did donate money towards a children's hospital charity for parking but you don't have to.
