Vacation in CT - part 1

We just spent a wonderful week at Pop and Mimi's house in Connecticut.  We joked that the kids did more every day than they would do in a week at our place as we continue to unpack, arrange rooms, etc.  It was great to see them so, so happy.

On Tuesday, we traveled to Rocky Neck State Park and enjoyed an awesome day at the beach.  The weather was perfect for Maggie and Stella's first trip to a beach.  They were wary of the water at first, but Mimi and Daddy got them into the water eventually.  Will was too busy playing in the sand and surf and watching the very nearby Acela train to bother getting too far into the water.







Daddy snared a jellyfish out of the water with a bucket after it stung him and some nearby kids.  Will thought it was pretty neat to bury him in the sand far from the water.  All three kids yelling at the seagulls during lunch was a highlight too.  All the fun in the sun left the kids good and tired (Maggie was asleep in 7 minutes, Stella in 8, and Will in 13)!
