last dip in the water

Friday, August 31st, 2012

This will be the last time we’ll be in the beach this summer so before we return home, I couldn’t resist to jump in again with the kids.

I was digging for clams under the sand and I found this one.  Surprise, there was a little crab friend inside.

Last minute coloring before the long car ride home. Goodbye Summer! We’ll see you next year.

Breakfast on the picnic table.

Runaway children

Chloe said it was just a morning walk.

Drive to Orient State Park where we visited about 4 years ago.

Here’s another one of Shane’s poses.

Chloe’s silliness at its peak.

Andrew picked out some surprises for the kids when we stopped by at a local toy shop on the way back. Bengal fire sparkling sticks!

It was the perfect way to end the night.

If he doesn’t make it as a rock star, he has a good future in baseball too. 🙂

After a good swim, we came to Greenport to have lunch.

Shane loves to sing and now whenever he hears music anywhere, he starts shaking his butt and dancing. He calls himself a rock star and when we take pictures, he’s got these “rockstar” poses. You’ll see it throughout the trip.

Lunch at Claudio’s Clam bar.

A friend of a family owns this small charming house right on the water in Jamesport, LI and we were lucky enough able to rent it for two days this week on a such short notice.

It’s very rustic and full of its charm.

30 second walk to the beach!

We saw so many moon jelly fishes.

We had fun catching quiet a few of these.

Today we drove about 1.5 hour to check out the Sesame Place in PA.

It was packed.

Can you see me and Shane?

Ready for a roller coaster ride?

Saturday, August 25th, 2012

I bought some silver charms awhile ago and I finally got around to use them to make a necklace for Chloe.
She loves it!
