Saturday Day 4

I don't think a day went by that the croquet set went unused! It was a game we all could enjoy!


On this morning we went to a local farmer's market and the kids enjoyed the playground at the town hall.


Then a quick walk over the the general store for a snack got them off the playground!
Alley's general store, 1818
What a quaint little general store that sold EVERYTHING you could imagine.
It was a beautiful sunny afternoon so we headed back for some more beach time. However, when we got there it was apparent there was a storm out in the Atlantic making the waves super big and making the beach overcast!
But that didn't stop us

In playing in the sand we kept finding these little crab like creatures
Getting lots more use out of our sun hats

Wave jumping was pretty fun that day, as you can see the storm seemed to go further out to sea and the skies cleared up


Sand cave!
Getting thoroughly drenched in a very cold ocean!
Aaww...what fun!
We headed over to Edgartown that evening!
This is the transport over to Chappaquiddick, they put one or two cars on this little ferry and take them across to the other side. Chappaquiddick is famous for the Kennedy incident in 1969. It is a tiny island off of MV!Murdick's fudge is pretty yummy! This is one of the shops that makes the fudge!
Edgartown was pretty nice! Very pretty shops and homes!
more yard fun! Wiffle ball this time! A good way to kill time while dinner is being made!
I loved this picture!

That evening after dinner we headed back to Chilmark to watch the sunset!



Beautiful sunset!

Day 3 Vineyard Haven Shopping and Lobster Fest

It was a little bit rainy this morning so we were off for some shopping!


We had some afternoon downtime after shopping so I stopped to take pics of everyone chilling
Dillon playing on his phone
Grandma reading emails on her phone
Lisa working on her real work on her laptop
Cara and Oscar playing with their DS's and leapsters
Scott using his laptop

Later that afternoon we took a drive to the cliffs of Aquinnah
Absolutely gorgeous views
Behind us was the Gay Head lighthouse

Could be a postcard picture!
Other than the utility pole could be another postcard
Cara got a nice viewpoint from Daddy's shoulders
Then a piggy back ride to the car on Mommy

After Aquinnah we drove to Chilmark to the fishing village of Nemensha
This is where we hand picked dinner! Some nice big lobsters and shrimp
One of the fishing boats parked on the dock
These rocks were pretty amazing, if this looks familiar to you it may be because you recognize it from Jaws, it was filmed here!

Great picture of Dillon on the rocks

Beautiful beach here! I suggested we do a big family picture here on the beach! So Scott put the camera on a lifeguard stand and I thought I would share the fun...
Oops, picture fired before Scott stepped away from the camera
Success
Oops, camera still taking pictures!
we bought these JUMBO shrimp which scott had to clean, de-vein, and cook
And check out these 3+ lb lobsters
Cara did NOT want anything to do with them!
Oscar on the other hand could not get enough!
If you can tell by my picture I enjoyed a nice steak while others enjoyed lobsters and shrimp! :) However, sangria was enjoyed by all (of the adults anyway)!
