Litchfield 2012

Our annual beach trip to North Litchfield has come and gone.  Owen is the most upset about this, in fact he cried while brushing his teeth our first night at home.  He thinks we should move there, or at the very least stay there for eight weeks next summer.  Sounds good to me, although that would roughly be $28K.  

It was Oliver's first beach trip, and it took him a while to warm up to the new yet temporary surroundings.  The first time Owen went he was 16 months old, and Oliver was only 8.5.  That's a huge difference!  I'm guessing it was the sea air or the super squishy crib mattress, because he slept like a dream.

While we had a great time as usual, our trip did have its share of mishaps including:

1.  Stomach "issues" while on a night-time beach walk.
2.  Burn from a sparkler
3.  Sliced finger requiring four stitches
4.  Stepping on a nail
5.  Something puncturing a big toe in the ocean
6.  Dead car battery

Am I forgetting something?  I think that's it, and thankfully not all those happened to one person.

Here are a few shots in no particular order...

One of the maids took our group shot and she only took one!
