What's new...

This is our first house guest. She came all the way from East Hartland, CT. (1/2 hour away) She stayed only one night. :)

These next two are Owan's first swim in the lake at the Nilsen's cabin. He really did not like the life jacket. He really did like swimming in the lake without the jacket.

The best of friends?...hopefully. If you can see the shirt Elsie is wearing, there is a black dog on it. (they each got one) I guess it is a really nice brand from Cape Cod?

"Bring it."

This is the name of the beach we went to last weekend. We had so much fun! It was our first exploring Conn. trip. :)
First we found a nature center where there was a snake presentation in progress. It was pretty interesting and we learned poisoness snakes are not very common in CT.
If any of you know Ryan well, this next pic is going to be a shocker. The man HATES snakes. Owan didn't care much.
After the snakes we took a walk along a path. We could see Long Island, NY.

Ahh, isn't this cute?
And this.

Next we went to a different part of the beach where Owan played in sand for the first time! A lot of firsts for Owan lately. He liked it but was a little nervous about the waves coming at his feet.

Ryan and Elsie.


Kjirsti and Clara.
This is the bench where E and C ate their first meal on the beach. :)
This is the result of a long fun day!!
