New England Vacation: Part 2

Our second day in New England was spent with Don, The Beloved, and his wife, Cindy, The Most Excellent Cook. We began the day at their lovely abode. By the time we arrived, Cindy had already casually made homemade whoopie pies, a must with any Hunt arrival. To properly accompany these evil sweet things, she made state-of-the-art lattes. I was so grateful she understood this important pairing.

Penelope having her first taste of Cindy's whoopies.

Naturally, we felt another beach day was most necessary, so off we went with a picnic in hand, made of course, by Cindy.



Perfect contentment.

Ethan and his freshly picked snails (in the bottle). Who knew the joy that snails could bring a nine year old boy.

Ethan chasing his little bro, Nathan, with a new found snail friend.

Christopher and Penelope enjoying string licorice.

Jeremy and his Eskimo. Not the attire that most often springs to mind when you say, "beach." What can we say? Cold should not be a factor for enjoying the ocean.

I post this picture for DIMPLE reasons alone. Just look at them! I also get a kick out of the fact that it looks like he only possesses one arm. Wait a minute, that didn't sound right. You know what I mean.
Jer and Cat. Totally a Jetta kind of couple.

I had asked Dylan whether or not he had tasted the salty sea. Later, I found him with his tongue hanging out. He said, "it's so salty, I can hardly taste the water." Dylan always knows just how to put things.
Smooching time. OK. Don't look too closely because you'll see that Christopher has his eyes open which makes this picture really funny. Oh well, this is the land where we fell in love, so many years ago...

...and now look what we have.

A very pretty Eskimo.

Ethan knows what it means to live in the moment.

After our lovely day at the beach we went back to The Beloved and The Most Excellent Cook's home to feast on more food. Cindy casually made, from scratch mac and cheese (which makes me never want to buy a box of that stuff again), marinated chicken on the grill, stuffed bell peppers with fontina cheese and home made croutons, broccoli with lemon and from scratch risotto. Do you begin to see why I gave her that name?

A very good day indeed.
