Just can't wait to get back on the road again...

Last week, we took the traveling roadshow down to Alayn & Dale's rented beach house in Little Compton, RI. This weekend, we're going back. With shots like these, how could we pass up another photo op?

Part three! (who knew?)

As I was going through the vacation photos one more time, I realized that there were still a few more Tropical Aden highlights worth sharing. Also, we found a few keepers on one of the disposable waterproof cameras we brought along. And so the Bermuda theme keeps on rolling!

You can't go away for five nights to a beautiful tropical island with a crazy-cute 18-month old and come back with only one day's worth of blog photos to show for it. (Or at least, I can't... but it has been said that I have a bit of a problem with restraint when it comes to the digital camera...) So here are a few more...

Ber-moo-dah!

We just got back from our first international vacation, and are pleased to report that everyone survived. It was pretty gorgeous, and not too shabby having a room just fifty feet from the water. Of course, as anyone who has done it will tell you, "vacation with a toddler" is a bit of a contradiction in terms, but we made it through... and we've got the pics to prove it!

Heatwave!

Whew! I don't know how the weather is where you are, but it's been capital HOTTT here in RI. Every single store in a 20 mile radius sold out of air conditioners, ice cream, ice cubes, ice skates, ice sculptures, freon and penguins on the same day! Well, maybe I exaggerate a little, but you get the idea. Thankfully, we seem to have made it through intact, if a few pounds of sweat lighter. As you can see below, Aden & Co. took every opportunity to beat the heat and look slick doing it...

Whole lotta shakin'

It's been crazy busy here in Adenland. All kinds of hijinks are afoot. But that doesn't mean that we don't have time to stop and take pictures now and again. Oh no. To quote one of those classic geek flicks: "Let me explain... no. There is too much. Let me sum up."

01) Prepping for a big day out.
02) Nugget in his "happy place."
03) Visiting "Uncle Pringles" (it's a long story, you probably shouldn't ask).
04) Uncle Bill begins the first of many drum lessons.
05) Luka explains his truck.
06) Little swimming pools are awesome.
07) Aden makes a new friend.
08) Big pools are mind-blowingly awesome!
09) Chopsticks are fun (see drum lessons, above).
10) All drinks are improved by straws.
11) Baby's first sushi! (a complete success, we're happy to report)

Takin' it to the street

It's been a tough, hectic, crazy couple of weeks here at Withers HQ, for those of you not already in the know. Life... it gets rough sometimes. But around here, we've found a simple solution that we're not afraid to use at the drop of a hat: street party.

"Where is this mythical street?" you may ask, "And who parties there?" Well, we can't tell you. It's top secret. But we can show you. Here are a few scenes from some recent street party action (and a couple from some BBQ action). This is how we keep it real down here in Providence.
