Last week Keith, the kids, and I spent 4 days on Nantucket, where we enjoyed beautiful sunny, crisp September weather and no crowds. We rented a *tiny* cottage on Brant Point...
And spent time on almost every Nantucket beach, making sand mounds (not castles, exactly)...
Then stomping on them...
Keith and the kids even caught a sunrise one day (they woke up at 5 am)...
We had lots of beach picnics (Anna didn't seem to mind that her hands were covered in sand as she continued to eat her peanut butter sandwich)...
The kids rode in a double trailer to the beach at Madaket...
They (especially Luke) must have run 10 miles on the beach...
One day we rented a Jeep and drove out over the sand to the remote eastern tip of the island...
Where we had another beach picnic sitting between a lighthouse and the water...
The kids loved throwing rocks and shells into the water...
And racing Keith down the beach...
And chasing sea gulls. Luke chased this one for a long time and long distance. He was seeking revenge for the bird, named Mugsy the Gull, who got away with Keith's entire cranberry muffin on our first morning on the island. I think this poor guy was just a friend of Mugsy.
What a beautiful place. We really enjoyed our family vacation on Nantucket.
These will make for good comparisons when they get to real beach time. The muscle man & the model in Nantucket. parents will be able to equate this with fond times and time exploding bye. LOVE B&B
