Thanksgiving Weekend in Quogue - Part I

This year we brought back the annual tradition to go to Poobah and Dundore's beach house in Quogue for Thanksgiving. The past couple years there was always something happening that we ended up having the feast in Pennsylvania. But this year we were able to travel down to Connecticut to catch the ferry to Long Island. Cora's first ferry ride! It was very windy and cold out on the decks. Cole and I took a lap around and got thoroughly wind blown at the bow of the boat.

Getting blasted by wind!

Quogue is all about family time... there really isn't much to do especially in November when a day at the beach is definitely out! although walks aren't as you will in one of the next posts... anyway, we got to spend a lot of time with Dundore, Poobah, Aunt D, Cousin S and (2nd?) Cousin Bo.
Cousins! M is still back in school in Kiev with Uncle A

Cora has taken to trying to escape during diaper changes. Crawling just as fast as her little body will take her cackling all the way! It's just too cute to see her little buns go! She is so much meatier than the boys were!

The first time the kids have all tubbed together.. It must be the shape of the tub, because it seemed much larger than the one we have at home.

We made music

... and played outside! It was really nice out on Thursday.

Some bonding time with Dundore

Some photo ops!

And if I hadn't already ordered our Christmas cards I may have used one of these as the picture! Too late!


Cousin Bo was a big hit.. especially with Caden. "Buddy" Caden called him.. After spending time with the 4 kids I am quite sure Bo will not be having kids anytime soon!!


Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!! Stay tuned for Part II !

Glad your Thanksgiving was great!! Long Island is such a fantastic place!

I love, love, love the pics of Cora and her little bum, Cora looking over Rob's shoulder, and the one of the 3 in the tub. Cole looks so old in that photo!!
