Labor Day week in CT

Heading out for a sail

As an end to our summer we made a trip up to Connecticut.  The girls and I headed up after Irene came by the Shore.  It was a great week, relaxing and restful.  The girls and I hung out in the pool and helped Mema by running errands and making meals.  The best part of the week was when Chris got up there and we took the girls sailing.  Our summer was busier than we expected and we didn't get to take the girls sailing as we had planned.  So we really wanted to take them sailing while we were in Connecticut. 
The girls were seasoned sailors, so comfortable in the boat.  After we talked to them about what they should do if they fell out or if the boat were to capsize, they wanted to do some practice drills.  Chris and I were thrilled when they had so much fun jumping out of the boat and waiting in the water for me to come and pick them up. My dad took some great shots on Sunday of them "overboard".  I'll get them up here soon.

They were extra prepared with more than 1 life jacket.  Just kidding, they were carrying them down to the boat for us.

Grace got her first real haircut while we were up in CT.  She was so excited!
