It was a beautiful September day and we wanted to do something different. Brian had been talking to a co-worker and he suggested
Edaville, a small amusement park about an hour away from home. We weren't expecting much but to our surprise it was perfect for our
outing. Below is the first time the boys were on a ride by themselves. That's right...all by themselves.
Garrett even rode a couple rides all by himself. Of course, Connor wanted to go as well but can you believe he has outgrown some rides.
The whole family went on the train ride around the park and we took this picture to prove that Emily and I were actually there. We even got to meet the Bernstein Bears and as you can see the boys were in great spirits the whole day.
The carousel is always one of their personal favorites. Connor and I even went fishing at a real pond - we didn't catch anything but I did learn that he is dangerous with a fishing hook. When Connor would go to cast, you had to hit the deck quickly.
A week later we headed down to Long Island to visit everyone and to go to a birthday party. Since Emily eats about every three hours, we thought it would be an efficient use of time to take the ferry. We all love the ferry since it is so convenient and a nice break in the middle of the trip.
Of course, our priority was to visit with Aunt
Daph and Uncle Eric. You can always be assured that when Uncle Eric is holding a baby - there is absolutely no shot of him dropping the baby. He is so careful - look at Emily looking up at him.
Do you see a family resemblance because I certainly do. Aunt
Daph did her best to hold and snuggle with Emily.
It was Nicholas' First Birthday and all the LI kids were there. They all played so nicely together it was amazing. Here is Garrett and Madison playing some soccer.
Emily slept
allot at the party - I tried to wake her up but instead she just stretched and went back to sleep. Gorgeous!
Here we are!
Look at my handsome young man being so responsible and holding Emily.
The next day was a perfect fall day for the beach and we took advantage. My favorite part was when Connor threw the
frisbee and asked his daddy to go fetch it from the water. Brian had brought mesh shorts but by the time he had finished playing
frisbee - he was drenched. The kids loved walking along the water and then checking out all the boats on the pier. The rocky beach didn't seem to bother them as much as it bothered daddy's poor bare feet.

It was a fun trip but we had to return home as usual.
