We started off the day by ME making eggs benedict, a special breakfast for Felix's birthday (actually, it is my favorite breakfast, but he said he didn't mind if I made it for his "special bday breakfast")- first time I ever poached an egg...but they turned out pretty good!
We then left the house by 10am to head for Newport. It was such a nice day out, and we got there early enough so we didn't have to deal with too much of a crowd.
Felix had the idea that we should take a boat tour around the island- it was so much fun, and Emma enjoyed herself the entire 1.5 hours! The water got quite choppy towards the end of the ride but she didn't even seem to notice.
Loving the waves
Our patriotic family portrait!
....SURPRISE! I got Felix a hammock for his birthday and he absolutely loves it! He set it up right away and took a nap this afternoon. I actually had the gift waiting for him in Emma's room so he would see it when he got her from her crib this morning. I am so happy he liked it...see for
yourself!
He was nice enough to let me have a turn for a few minutes....
Felix has already set the rules for the hammock.... and so we have to bring it inside whenever we are not using it. I have to admit, it is very relaxing lying on it beneath all the trees. Emma & I brought out a blanket and joined him for a bit this evening- I hope we get lots of use out of it. Maybe I can even convince him to camp out in the backyard one night.
Happy Birthday!
