Sitting around campfire at Southwick Beach, Will, Grandpa, Witney, Grandma
We arrived at Southwick Beach State Park on Monday, 6/4/12, to a cloudy day.
Tues we had sun so we went to beach for the afternoon. At night we joined Claude and Janet, 2 camp neighbors, for a campfire across the street to an empty site. 2 other couples joined us.
Wed. we were at the beach but it was cool, so I dressed warmly. Around 8:30PM, Katie and the children arrived. Witney slept in her pack and play which was placed with 2 legs on the dashboard and 2 legs on a board which went across the arms of the passenger chair. We wrapped a sheet around the outside so she could not see anybody unless she stood up. That arrangement worked out really well. On
Thurs. we rode our bikes up to the playground so the kids could play. Katie brought up Will's little bike plus the kid trailer for the back of her bike so Witney had a place to ride. In the afternoon we all went to the beach. The kids played in the sand and went in the water. After supper Will and Grandpa set up the fire and started it and we made smores.
Friday it was cool so we rode our bikes around the park and after lunch, we just went for a walk down at the beach. Bill showed up around around 4:30PM. Will wanted to go swimming with his Dad so they did even though it was cool out. We had another campfire.
Sat. we woke up to rain so we decided to go into Watertown and see the movie Madagaster 3, then stopped and had lunch at TGIF. The Zink family went to the beach and jumped some waves but not for long because it was cool and windy. We had another fire with smores.
Sunday woke up to a sunny day. We headed down to the beach after breakfast because we didn't know how long the sun would be out. We had a wonderful day at the beach, played in water, built dribble castles, played ball. After supper the Zink family left. On
Monday Peggy and Gordon Heinzman drove up to spend the day with us. It was another gorgeous day and we spent the afternoon at the beach. They left after the sun set and it was so warm, we did not have a fire.
Tues. it rained all day, no fire.
Wed. was very windy and cool so we just walked the beach. That night we had a fire across the street on an empty site with 4 other couples.
Thurs. we woke up to a beautiful day. Sue Miller and Diane Reeve drove up to spend the day with us. We spent the afternoon on the beach. When we came up from the beach we had cocktails and snacks and played Hand and Foot, a card game. Mike and Diane won. They left after supper. We had a fire across the street on an empty site with the other couples.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday were nice sunny blue sky days. We went to the beach each day. On Sat. we walked the nature walk, which was a nice walk. It was warm enough on Sat.that I even went into the water and went way out. We had campfires each night. On
Monday June 18th we left for home.
