A year ago the Shepards and the Asanovics got together for fun in the sun at a local Connecticut beach. This year we kept the tradition alive with a trip to Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk.After checking out the Asanovic's new trampoline, the group headed for the beach. Marni had never experienced a beach with virtually no waves, so she immediately waded way out to her chest. Stella was not too thrilled with the stony shore, so she hung back on the sand.
As the tide pulled out, the kids grabbed buckets and began an exciting hunt for crabs over by the large rocks. Ian was the designated catcher and Stella was the designated bucket holder. Marni was the designated screamer. Lisa Asanovic was the back-up screamer whenever crabs got a little too close to her toes.
After crab torturing we took a trip to the snack bar for ice cream, followed by a visit to the playground where the girls gave the boys a run for their money.
At some point during the day Stella decided she really liked Tomo. "He has nice hands".
So how did the day go? Pretty good considering that both girls complained on the way home that they wanted to go back to the boys' house.
