Annual Lobster Feed

Ok Ok Ok - here's my take of our annual lobster feed.
The arrival of some of the family from New Hampshire.
Look at Rex's expression.
Just loving her little sister
Patrick and his mother having a conversation
Jay thinks it's funny whatever it was.
Tony made us a new cribbage board -
Reese was a little upset
She's better now in daddy's arms
Daniel and little Rex
Jay and Derek preparing the clams -
(Cohogs) for stuffing and baking on the grill.
What a process - but very worth it - thanks Jay and Derek and Craig
Others inspecting
My handsome men observing
Charlotte after speaking to the crowd with the megaphone
Sharing a few laughs
Can I wear the hat for the annual picture?
Please........
Jay and Kelly and their girls
My buddy Cheryl
Time to say good-bye for now Derek said he was going to use Rex's plastic gun
if there were any crazy drivers going home.
Evening of lobster feed
The morning after
We missed all of you that couldn't make it -
But there is always next year -
Love to all -
See you in October :)

End of Summer Memories

My Niece Amy with her beautiful girls who visited Toddy Pond very often this summer. She really has quite the expressions. She played with this flag alot! We had a visit from Tony's dad - as we call him Mr. D. He's a great guy. Dave and I look forward to his visit every summer. My Sister-In-Law Patty was here visiting from California again this year. We all love having her around. She is pictured here with her granddaughter from New Hampshire. This year we had ducks visit our camp for their daily feeding. There were 9 in all. As you can see they would come right onto the dock! We did have some really hot and humid days - so the water felt like bath water. It was great. Patty in action - Don't ask what she is doing - couldn't tell ya. Rex just watching the activity. Notice how many cookies at once :)
