Caorle Beach
We had a beautiful day at the beach; we swam out to the 2nd sandbar with the boys, rented a boat for an hour that had a slide attached to it and played in the sand lots too!!

Swimming
Here is Andrew showing off his swimming skills by being brave and just jumping right into the pool and kicking his legs to get to Daddy.
AquaSplash
Today we had our water park adventure!! We couldn't get pictures of us on the slides because we went on them at the same time, but we took a few shots of some of the slides and the boys playing in the areas when we did have the camera handy and weren't getting soaked!!

Sesame Street/USO Experience
We went to the Sesame Street show that USO put on this evening about a military child who is sad about moving again and leaving her friends. It was a very cute production and they gave the boys free light spinners. Originally it was only going to be Riley and I, but Andrew changed his mind about going at the last minute. He refused to pose by the banner with Riley but at least he came; and because he came he convinced Daddy to come too!!

Lido di Jesolo Sea Life Aquarium
Today we went to an aquarium along the coast of Italy. They had a lot of interesting species and we even learned some facts along the way! The boys got a souvenir photo, a pressed coin souvenir, and each a souvenir from the gift shop at the end, so all in all a fun trip!!

Today we went to our first big amusement park planned for Daddy's R&R leave; and it was also Riley's first amusement park ever!! He had his first roller coaster ride, log flume ride, and many more exciting firsts and he loved them all!! We had such a fun time and Daddy even agreed to go back some time!!!

Parco Zoo Punta Verde
We had our first family trip of Daddy's R&R Leave!! We took a drive to the nearest zoo and had a nice day looking around at all the animals. We were very impressed with the amount of animals and how beautiful they all were!! The boys each got a keepsake; Riley chose a stuffed bulldog and Andrew chose a new explorer set (complete with gun, bow and arrow, compass, watch, glasses, canteen, whistle, and knife). We had a blast as you can see and are anxious to go on more adventures too!!

Summer Goodies
We got a little surprise box from Gramma and Grampa with some summer goodies inside!! They found the boys some Mater mowers, Riley a race Mater, and Andrew a few Bakugan balls (his new obsession "dragon balls" as he calls them). But we did not know before today that they are also magnetic and come with magnetic cards to play a challenge round on!

Learning the Globe
Thank you Papa and Mimi for sending Andrew and Riley this cool globe!! I showed them where we are, Daddy is, and our families are, and Andrew tried to keep his fingers on all of the spots. Riley just likes to turn it so far, but he will learn them too when he is ready!! Let's hope they are more like their Dad in the geography part of studies; Mommy is not so good at that subject!!

Happy 4th of July!!
We headed over to the base for their 4th of July Celebration. I was kind of disappointed that they only had bouncy slides and the water slide for kids over 3, but Andrew and I made it up to Riley by stopping by the playground before heading home!
