Labor Day 2010

One of the highlights of our summer was our very last weekend of summer.  We went down to LBI for the long weekend and got to spend some serious quality time with Pops, Mary Chasko and Aunt Theresa and Uncle Steve.  We had such a good time.  The weather was divine post-Hurricane Earl but the waves remained saucy so Gar was able to surf THREE times!  He hasn't surfed that much since our San Diego days.  Needless to say, we all left relaxed and refreshed!

Here is the bay still a little bit choppy the day after Earl passed through.  Took a day for the boats to come back out.

And here they are!

Ginger had the best view in the house!

She loved the beach but she would not stop eating sand.  oy.

Mary and her quality beach reading.  A little Catalina love story slash murder mystery anyone?

Ginger follows in a long line of Pop-lovers.  And well, beach-lovers, too.  

Mommy and Sis on Pops' boat.

Eleanor kept asking to go faster but I wanted it slower.  "Mom, you are so scared."  

Uh, yes, Eleanor, I am.

Pops promised Eleanor another "fast" ride after dropping Mom off.

The girls goofing around with Mary Chasko.  The girls followed her around the entire weekend.  

Dinner with Pops.  It's like he wanted to recreate our dinners from the Cape or something?  

At $4.99/lb, done and DONE.

Hope next Labor Day is as wonderful as this one.  Cheers!
