Essex....

We got down to Essex this summer at the end of August for a visit with Charlotte, Ted and Alex. We had a wonderful day full of a visit to crab island. Shane and Jackson had cousin Alex in the water fetching hermit crabs but we decided to let them go before we left the island. It was a bit cool outside and hence the water was even colder so we didn't go swimming but we did go Kayaking and for a motor boat ride. (Shane red, Jackson Green).

Both Shane and Jackson did great in the kayaks

but at times Jackson got frustrated and gave up, Shane on the other hand went pretty far out. A big shout out and thank you to Alex for going out there with the boys. Shane got a freaked out by the motor on the boat so he ran up the dock screaming and stayed inside while we went on the boat ride.

Deciding if they should go swimming off the dock.....
