Quogue Vacation: Three Hour Tour

We had a couple of tours that added up to three hours.. the littlest Rogers' woke up tired, as children tend to do on vacation!  So the best way to get them to take a nap is to pedal them around for an hour!  They were snoozing within the first 10 minutes. 

We then set off on a boat tour.. Little Bo Peep thought he'd join us :)

Our sturdy ship

Our little group of 10 made up half the boat.

Cousin Sarah could be one of our kids with her blonde hair and blue eyes!

What we didn't realize is that the boat tour was totally interactive!  We learned a lot from the guides and they passed around fun things to touch.

Cora liked the mermaids necklace

And halfway through the tour much to our pleasure, they beached the boat and we got to get out for some water fun, and some net fishing.  You can see Cousin Grace scoffs at pants at the beach!

  

Dundore found her own treasure, and Cora just enjoyed splashing around in the super warm "estuary" water.

  

Rob's proof that I am on vacation with them :)

Cole gets in on the fishing action

They had the kids collect the catch for their fish tank on board. Cole had many attempts at finally getting a fish into the bucket!  They are super wriggly!

A snail was much more Cora's speed, she wasn't a fan of the fish flipping around in her hand.

The kids hum to the snail to get it out of it's shell.. it's blurry, but it was waaaayyyy out!

This was a moment that makes a Mom's heart go pitter patter!  Cole couldn't see into the bucket that held the fish because it was up on a table.  Caden said "Come here Cole, I'll help you see" and he picked him up to lift him high enough to see!

I just like these guys.
