One of my favorite days of the summer was today with my family. As the summer is winding down - we happened to have one of the most gorgeous weather days of the year. Hot & sunny, but with a beautiful breeze and NO humidity!
We started the morning off with Ari going to his fall season of soccer. He has a new coach this year, and a new team, but he has spent a lot of time practicing with his Abba this summer so he was ready. The team got off to a good start - with most of the kids participating and running around. Ari took off like a shot on his turn - he hussled to the ball - got it going in the right direction - was not afraid of the crowds - and dribbled the ball up & down the field. He even scored his only team's goal for the day - and we were so proud of him. Most of all - I think he felt so proud of himself - he did a GREAT job! Looking forward to next week...
We went from the soccer game to the Oyster festival in SONO. This year - it was set up really well. We ate some yummy foods, watched the motorcross, with flying bikes and jumps (the kids had a ball), we rode a few rides at the amusement park, ate some cotton candy and fresh kettle corn - and finished the day off by running up and down through the water and dirt. Couldn't be more fun! I sat for a while and took in the beautiful sights of the water and boats surrounding Norwalk - and I felt very happy about where we live. It truly is a beautiful place on a pretty, sunny day.
And we ended the day driving up to a little find, called Marnicks on the beach in Stratford. A great little kid friendly place with gorgeous views of the sound and the sunset. We ate and climbed the rocks and made angels in the sand. the kids stayed awake just long enough to get hosed off in the shower - and fell right asleep (along with mommy). It was a perfect summer day to spend with my 3 boys.
