Goin' to Connecticut

Last Thursday, Izzy and I went down to New London to visit Aunt Gail and stay the night. We picked up Cousin Sarah on the way to go visit Great Grandpa Horning. We had a nice visit outside hanging out on the benches before he had dinner.

Later that night we went over to Debbie's for a cook-out and also got to meet her brother Michael and niece Carolyn. Carolyn was having fun weighing herself on the scale. She's nearly 7 times Izzy's size! Not bad for an 8 yr. old.

Friday Debbie treated us to lunch and then we went on a trip to Harkness Park. It was the first time Izzy had been to the beach and of course we had to dip her tootsies into the water. She didn't mind as long as she was facing the shore. The oncoming waves were a bit much for her. Hopefully she'll like them when she's a bit older. The park also had beautiful gardens surrounding a large mansion. We'll definitely be visiting again this summer.

Izzy wore her nature dress for Great Grandpa.

Griffin doesn't much trust waves he doesn't make himself either.
