Shelter Island

The picture above pretty much summarizes the crazy summer fun that happened this past week at the Woglom family's Shelter Island residence: no shirts, watermelon, and lots and lots of sand! Christopher, Poppy, Elsie and Bennett spent more time together than ever and everyone had a terrific time! There are far too many pictures to post so I will add a select few. Among other things, we went to the beach just about every day, ate lots of ice cream, played what will most likely be the first of many "baseball" games in the backyard, and ventured out with most of the clan on the infamous Fat Frog. Oh, and Christopher wanted me to tell you he got to go to the dump. So here are some of the things we did. First the beach!



We spent several days going to Wade's Beach which is on Shelter Island. Because it is on the bay, the waves were small to non-existent so it was easy for the kids to swim there. They also dug lots of holes, built sand castles and collected rocks and shells. One other day we all went to Main Beach in Easthampton because we wanted to overpay for parking and the beach in Southampton where Daddy and Chris played while Mommy surfed. So fun!
The family also took to the open seas on the Fat Frog. Both Bennett and Christopher (and I think Poppy) helped Grandpa drive the boat. It was a perfect day for a boat ride!

More than anything, the kids just really enjoyed being together. Christopher, who is not a very huggy kid with other kids, was so happy to be around the triplets that he voluntarily offered out hugs to them! Here is some video as proof...


And here is more of the kids together...





It was a fantastic trip and we can't wait to go back next year!
