July 2009... Summer Vacation



Summer Vacation!

Greg and I had a wonderful vacation.... We visited the New England area and it was beautiful. The kids were a blast to watch and we had a great time on our first family venture.
I started with some pictures of the kids the morning just before our departure.... they are very excited... The flight there was a better than anticipated... the kids did great on the plane! On our first stop to Providence, Rhode Island we visited the Roger Williams Zoo with Grandma (my mom) and Uncle Wacky (Zac, my brother)
We got a close up view of the giraffe feeding....we ate hotdogs and played on the playground. What a beautiful New England day!

Of course, it wouldn't be a Bosseler vacation without..... a triathlon!
Greg did the Providence Half Ironman
(1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run)
We were there to cheer him on for the 5 hours and 38 minutes it took for him to complete it. We were very proud of him....My whole family came to cheer him on....

Below is a picture of him coming in from his bike.... The kids napped while he swam, biked and ran....

Post race we had the best Providence pizza.... Wickeden Pizza.... I sure do miss that pizza from my college days.... and we hung out on the State Capitol lawn....

After Providence we entered the second leg of our vacation.... Martha's Vineyard! It was beautiful and we had a blast.... Greg and I are hoping to make this a summer thing! The beaches were incredible and the kids are now at the age were they enjoy it and have a blast in the water... with the sand... the toys....

One day we went to a beautiful beach on Martha's Vineyard.... on a little island called Chappy....

Some of the pictures below ae the cliffs on the other side of the island in Aquinnah...We also enjoyed breakfast in Edgartown.... yummy! Did some shopping and ate ice-cream every night!

The third leg of our vacation was visiting Grandpa in CT.... It was in the country and very peaceful. My dad has a beautiful three story log home on a little creek. The weather was incredible. Below is a cute picture of Casen after falling asleep rocking with Grandpa on the porch....

We visited the Mystic Aquarium with Grandpa and Mary.... Emy loved the penguins. She would giggle and scream and try to grab them when they would swim by... Grandpa bought the twins each a little penguin named Waddle and Slide.

The final leg of our trip was to visit Grandma and Uncle Zac in Provincetown, Cape Cod.... We stayed in an Inn on the beach and played, played, played!

Casen found seaweed to be very interesting.... the twins tried Lobster and we enjoyed a great family pizza night....

We had a wonderful vacation and can't believe how big the kids are getting! They are pulling up and walking along furniture, babbling, saying some words, and getting into EVERYTHING! We are expecting baby number 3 in January and feel very blessed! We can't wait to find out if Emy will have a sister or another brother to beat up on.....

We wanted to say thanks to all the grandparents, uncles and friends who made this trip so easy for us! The kids were so happy to see and play with you all.....

Lots of Love,
Greg & Summer
Casen & Emy
& Number 3
