WOW! This summer so far has been so busy but also so fun! We just got back from a great family vacation. It started off in Rhode Island to celebrate my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. They flew our entire family to Rhode to be a part of it all! It was so special to get to be there to celebrate with them! And we had so much fun hanging with the family! The renewed their vowels in the same church they got married in 50 years ago. We then went to a reception with my pepere's 13 siblings and significant others and my memere's sister and brother! It was quite a party :)
Evan did not exactly cooperate during church service...let's just say he wanted to sing when singing time was over and when the reverend was talking...thought he needed to also...people around us thought it was SOOO cute but, he watched the rest from the lobby! :)
The 14 siblings!
The best restaurant game EVER...napkin hide and seek!
The next day was the Barrette family reunion. Well...let me tell you...WE KNOW WHERE THE RED HAIR COMES FROM! It was CRAZY!!!!!! There were 4 other red heads!!!! All within a few years of eachother (which is even CRAZIER!). We of course had to get a pic with the first one we saw (Joshua)! Everyone that saw him commented about how he got the red hair. No one from my grandparents generation has it, so it goes back pretty far and it surfacing just now!
After a wonderful weekend in Rhode Island, we headed to the Outer Banks in NC to hang out at the beach house. After a very interesting day of traveling, we finally made it. Evan had a blast chillin in the sand, swimming, and hanging out with Cousin Marley!
Has no interest in things cut in pieces...
We were supposed to return home on Saturday afternoon but due to a canceled flight, got to have an impromptu stay in Williamsburg! We took my mom down to Colonial Williamsburg and browsed the historical buildings and shops. I just couldn't resist purchasing these shirts for Evan and Marley and Grandnan couldn't resist the hats! (EVAN LOVES THIS HAT! Wears it all over the house!)
He kept grabbing the bonnet...eventually we just put it on him...I think Bethany got a pic of that!
He is such a goofball!
After a wonderful vacation, we are back and I am working on getting everything put together and organized after our trip. More pics to come maybe later today waiting for my other camera to charge!

Ahhh so much fun! Funny thing with the passing of the genetics but we love the red hair! :) Curious to see if the next little one has it??? Get rested and we will see you soon!
Those shirts are too funny. How are you feeling? Looks like you guys have been really busy.
