After a much needed day to just chill and recoup from the 18 hour monster day, we headed to the Gomez house in Norwalk to visit with my sister's family for the second time in 5 days! After a good night's sleep, we headed to Island Beach in Greenwich. This was a staple of my childhood growing up, so it was fun for me and the kids, Margaret and her family and my mom and my other two sisters to head to the beach like we all used to back in the day.......
Here comes the ferry!!!
Elijah is raring to go!!
Cales on the high seas!!
Caeley making Lucas smile!
Aunt Maggie and Caeley enjoying the breeze...
Ahoy!! Land ho!!!
Pulling into the island.....
Cales wastes no time. Time to hit the water!!!
Elijah decides to hang back and watch a rowdy bunch of campers play a fierce game of dodgeball...
Aunt Wendy looking fabulous as always!!
Caeley and Aunt Connie enjoying a dip UNTIL.....
The wonderful lifeguard informed us that no flotation devices were allowed in the water, including Caeley's "swimmies". The reason? Parents rely too much on them and don't watch their children properly. I was standing knee deep in the water with my daughter at arm's length, but letting her build up her confidence with her swimmies on. But because others neglect their kids, I had to tell Caeley to take her swimmies off and she started crying. Thanks Hasselhoff for bringing my kid to tears...
But wait!!! What is this??? Caeley refuses to let the lifeguard ruin her day. Instead she counters with a great round of aqua ring around the rosy with Nana, Aunt Connie and Wendy!! "ashes!! ashes!!!"
"WE ALL FALL DOWN!!!"
Overall, a great day at the beach! After the kids were beat, we packed up and said goodbye to the Sullivan/Gomez crew and headed back to chez Daubner!
