Summer was nearly over and it was time to take a family trip to end with a bang. So, we rented a house at Long Beach Island and drove down. I made my way through the dunes
across the plains
until I could admire my feet
and watch the family coming back
as Ben showed me the shell he had gotten
and we had a display of the family's feet
to the amusement of these passersby, the orthodontist in Randolph and his wife,
who felt another family feet picture was in order
before taking these group pictures of our family
as we admired the beach signage
and then made our way back to the house where this sign warned us to not fall out the window
and this sign warned us not to cause a shower flood
all of which amused Ben as he enjoyed his daybed
and we set up the fans to ease the heat
before heading to the deck where we could observe the conversation next door
as I settled into vacation mode
while in the kitchen, cheese was being shredded
to make this mozzarella platter
as the refrigerator was filled
and the cheese platter grew
while Sarah
worked on the cheese and tomato plate
and Suzanne relaxed
as the Mulvey's appeared
which led the children (many of them, some not so young) to engage in corn husking
with the result being this nice plate of corn
as the children reassembled in the living room
for a game of Five Crowns
until the steaks were ready
and the chicken was sliced
and this was the plate
that Johnny Mulvey assembled
and from this table
I made this plate for my dinner
