Lobster Cook-Out

Lauren, Hadley and I just got back from an excellent trip out east to Shelter Island. Not only did we get to spend some great time with Jim and Diane, but a number of our close friends as well. Kelly and Mo came out with us for the fourth of July. After a greuling day of travel for myself that included rides in a van, a plane, 2 trains and a taxi, I met Kelly and Mo in NYC and we took a bus out towards Shelter Island to catch the ferry. I feel like I should've squeezed in a ride in a helicopter or a submarine to round out the day of travel!
On the 4th, we met up with the Trombley clan and Jenny for a classic lobster cook-out. Weather out east wasn't great for the weekend, but we had a beautiful night. Everyone met up at the beach for good food, good drinks and great friends. Hadley had a blast on her 1st 4th of July celebration! Included in this post are a few photos. What a great time...

Mom came up last night for dinner and to visit Hadley. She cooked us a great meal and took some even better photos. Lauren, Hadley and I just got back from vacation out east. We'll be posting some photos soon.
We're still working a lot on the new house - with so much more to do. We are hoping to finish our family room soon and get our new couch and TV. The yard is also a current work in progress but is looking better everyday. The hot, hot heat has dried some of it out but most of it is doing pretty well.
