On the island this weekend we discovered a new restaurant that opened in the original island schoolhouse. They happened to be celebrating the Summer Solstice on Saturday night so we were glad we stopped by. There was live music, a bonfire, and great ambiance. We had so much fun! We also met a couple in the coffee shop who was visiting the island to do some bike riding. After talking for a while we told them to stop by later for a glass of wine. They did and we had a great time getting to know them. Turns out that Pam sings and plays the guitar. She joined the band on Saturday night (see photo above) and we had so much fun listening to her play.
On the way up to the island we stopped at an ice cream stand. They had a huge playground that we played on to burn some energy before getting back in the car. The other photos include Magnolia and George napping on the hammock in which she woke up and threw up everywhere! She ate too many blueberries and I think got a little motion sickness, poor thing! When we arrived Friday night we found an ant farm and spent some time watching all of the ants. We also discovered that the Washington Hotel is making croissants on Saturday mornings, yum! And I found an antique dresser and mirror for Magnolia's big girl room in the years to come. As always, it was a great time!

That looks like so much fun! I want to come visit you guys sometime. Maybe in the fall-it seems that summer time always brings lots of events and no free time. I'm so happy for you guys-I don't think that any of you have ever looked happier!

Love you all,
Amanda

Amanda, Please come and visit whenever you can, we'd love to see you! Almost our entire family will be up on the island last week in July...could you make it then???
Lots of love, Lucy

Jennifer, We can't wait to see you guys too. It's been sooo long!
I think your boys are going to have a blast on the island. Magnolia spends half her time picking up rocks and meandering through the woods. :)
We'll talk soon! Love, Lucy
