Mark & Mandy

South Hampton Beach take 2 … this day the beach was fabulous, but the waves were much too strong for a swim (hurricane approaching) so we mostly ran from the waves

Mark and Scott decided to make the ultimate sandcastle which was perfect for the destructors …

Our last night in New York we took a ferry over to Connecticut to see Scott and Julie’s renovations and stay at Mart and Lew’s house (which had a pool!).

After some daddy swim time the kids moved on to the best game – SPLASH!

Niko and Elsie would kick their legs and make a big splash …

mark and scott would SPLASH

Kids squeal …

and repeat!

We ended our stay with dinner from Pepe’s pizza – MMMM.  We love this trip with the Johnstons – especially with Elsie and Niko being partners in crime. We have a few years before we really have to worry about the two.

this post is very very late, but better late than never!

Here is our annual team shot … notice scott’s hand (he is holding the remote)

We bribed Elsie and Nicholas with chocolate if they would sit through the photos … it worked

We headed to downtown for a sushi dinner and some icecream

On our first trip to the South Hampton beach we were fogged out – which was actually a welcomed relief from the heat.

After beach time we decided to let the kids make some cupcakes, stirring was a hit …

But licking the beaters was an even bigger hit … (notice the football shirts – Jets for Elsie and NYG for Niko – from julie!)

Of course Scott was also in the bowl

Decorating was a giant mess, but worth it
