Sunday in Newport

The weather on Sunday was gorgeous around here, so we decided to spend the day in Newport. Jack had been wanting to fly his kite, so our first stop was Brenton Point State Park where kite flying is a must. 

On the way, we stopped for sandwiches and had a picnic there too. There were lots of people flying kites, but this kite was a show stopper.

After lunch, we headed downtown and stopped by the Aquidneck Lobster Company so Jack could check out the lobsters. This place is perfect for kids! We now know that at least for the near future, we don't have to spend money to visit the aquarium. Jack was fascinated by the lobsters and the strange looking fish that shared the tank with them. He was able to get up close and even touch the lobsters. Also, there are amazing views and it looks like a bar will soon be opening about 50 feet from the tanks. So it will be a perfect place for grown-ups too!

Check out this size of that claw! (That's Rob's arm)

Next stop was Ben and Jerry's. Yum. At this point Wyatt was fed up with being in the stroller, so we headed back to the car. On the way home, we stopped at Second Beach. It was Wyatt's first time with his toes in the sand. I was worried that he'd put his sandy hands in his mouth, but he didn't. He didn't even attempt to crawl, he just sat there scooping up fistfuls of sand then emptying his hands out. It was adorable. 

Jack on the other hand, was so excited to be at the beach, it was tough to take a picture of him. Rob managed to get this one of the boys and me.

We survived the drive home, even though Wyatt was screaming, get me out of this car seat! the entire way. It really was a fun day.
