Meeting new friends - WHFC, Bristol RI picnic

Our adoption agency plans different picnics for families over the summer so this weekend we ventured out to Bristol, RI!!! It was the boys first visit to the ocean and our first time to meet so many of our friends who also adopted from Russia in person!!! Even though the days was a little chilly and overcast ... we had a great time!!! The boys got to meet other children from Russia and Mama got to meet many of the people who supported us on our journey in person!!! We had a great day with a few minor mishaps, Roman gave himself a black eye and fell while pulling Max in the wagon ... let's just say both boys slept on the ride home to New York!!!

We can't wait to go again next year!!!

Looks like you had a lot of fun. I wish we had made it. We had my nephew's birthday party. Hope to see you soon.

What great pictures (even of the black eye- poor guy!) Everyone looks like they enjoyed the day! It was so great meeting as many people as possible in the short time we had to spend at the picnic. Can't wait for next year ;-)

How fun to meet so many fellow adoptive families - I think it's special to let the children meet too...hopefully they will also one day form lasting friendships since they have so much in common!
