The kiddos & I just returned from 2 weeks visiting family & friends in NY, we had an awesome time and we were so happy to be able to see everyone. Finny met a lot of people for the first time and loved every minute of all the attention.....
We had fun hanging out with Aunt Mandy at the pool, Finn got pretty brave for him & splashed around the shallow part of the baby pool by himself, as long as I wasn't far away!
Cal and Maisie actually had quite a few moments where to the untrained eye it might appear that they actually liked each other :)
There was lots of kicking back & relaxing in the garden...
There was a day spent sailing out to Fire Island with Mandy & Frank...there may or may not have been a few big waves, and one may or may not have been so big it came over the front of the boat & soaked Finn (who happened to be asleep) & I!!! Not a good way to wake up from a nap....
Certain little boys got buried in the sand several times....and LOVED it!
Maisie had a blast playing crazy football games with Frank & all the boys (even if she denies it!)
Finn practiced his pirate face, I think he's got it down....you should his Anakin Skywalker face too!!!
Maisie decided a life where boats & the beach are involved every weekend is a very good thing!
We spent a day at the Long Island Aquarium & Cal got up close & personal with the crabs in the salt marsh...
Finn took on the job of Grandpa's assistant with filling the bird & squirrel feeders, this may sound like an easy job but it's not...their yard is like a Disney movie with happy little birds, squirrels & bunnies everywhere & they easily go thru a huge bird feeder every day!!!! We obviously need to step up our game at home to encourage more wildlife, apparently we're headed to the feed store for supplies in the near future!
We spent an evening at the beach, finding horseshoe crab shells, posing for pictures, chasing seagulls & burying feet in the sand...
A very uncooperative Maisie let me take photos of her in Nannys barn despite the 100 degree temps...
Finn learned how to turn on the hose & we were all suddenly cooled off!!!
We explored the Sweetbriar nature center.....
And some of us had everyone eating out of their hand with their cuteness....
Thank you to everyone who entertained us, fed us, came to see us & tolerated our occasional grumpiness, we had a great time & hopefully we'll be back next summer for more fun!
