During our last visit to RI, for Arianna's 2nd Birthday we had the opportunity to stay for a slumber party at Auntie Ginger's house. In the early morning, the cousins worked diligently to make their very own jack o lanterns.
At the camp with the family... this is Ellianna, she likes to watch over Andy.
Andy has no more fear of the ocean, LOVES to jump into the crashing waves. 
Andy started outdoor soccer again on September 6. He is pictured with his brother Keagan who is on a different team with other 7 yearolds. Keagan was eager to give advice and instruction to Andy, and surprisingly it really paid off for him. Andy has showed a ton of growth since he last played in the late spring. During this particular game he scored 5 goals, he passed twice and two of his goals were assisted. Honestly most of the kids don't really know which direction to run, so it was very exciting to watch Andy and some of his team mates who happen to be very competitive. These games are every Saturday...rain or shine.
Andy and I hiked up Pack Monadonock, it is 1.4 miles each way. It took us about 3 hours including a picnic lunch at the summet. I was really impressed with Andy's ability to keep going when he really wanted to give up.
We are at Erica's parents camp site on Bow Lake. There is a very small beach that is open for all to use and they have this great little island that you can walk out to. The water is very shallow and only goes up to Andy's waist. He spent most of the time walking back and forth from the beach to the island and then jumping off the rocks. The water was SO COLD but it is true that kids don't really care about that they just want to be in the water.
