Ye Olde Mystic.

After living the island life in the Far East, we moved a little less east and stayed with Grammie and Grandpa in a town called Mystic.

There was a pool.

Mom made me wear these things called floaties. I pretended to hate them.

But those things called floaties let me swim by myself. Don’t tell mom I kind of love my floaties.

There was a beach.

Grammie gave me this red shovel and bucket.

And there was a fantastic sunset.

I loved spending time with Grammie and Grandpa in the lovely town of Mystic.

 

 

A little (more) island adventure.

I visited the little island of Nantucket when I was just a baby, and I promised Aunt and Uncle KandK that I would be back, whether they liked it or not! So, during our travels in the Far East, we hopped on a ferry and zipped over the ocean and joined all of dad’s family at KandK’s little island home. It was a wonderful four days of little island life.

KandK have a beautiful home with a big yard and big flowers.

Their yard is so big and perfect for shenanigans.

The whole family gathered together, and ate clams cooked many different ways.

We visited multiple beaches, saw lots of boats, shells, seaweed, and even a lighthouse.

The water was very cold at some of the beaches.

There were boats of all sizes, including large yachts.

There was even a light house, which was rather small for my taste.

The sunset on the beach the last night was certainly the most special part of the trip.

Then it was time to hop back on the high speed ferry, feel the wind in our hair, and head back to America.

Thanks for a wonderful visit to your little island, KandK! Don’t worry, I will invite myself back again sooner rather than later!!!

Second summer.

Since this is my second summer, I am becoming quite an expert on how to enjoy this season. If you want to know how you too can make the most of your summer days, allow me to give you some suggestions.

image

Install a pool in your backyard.

image

Install a slide for that pool.

image

Plant some flowers. Then don’t touch them because it will make your mom mad.

image

Decorate the flagstone walk with chalk. But don’t eat the chalk because it doesn’t taste good.

image

Run through a fountain on your local walking mall.

image

Have a picnic dinner in the park.

image

And always take a moment to enjoy the summer sunset.

Now get out there and enjoy your summer. I’m certainly enjoying my second one so far!
