It's been just over a week now that we have been back from our vacation on Long Island. I'm glad we got back before the hurricanes decided to start rolling in. We enjoyed our time on the bay and with Frank's family.

Anna got to enjoy more time with her cousins.

What Anna did not enjoy was her first experience of being stung by a jellyfish (note: remedy for jellyfish sting is distilled vinegar and baking soda). She said it was quite painful.

When we first arrived, there was a small Bobcat backhoe in the yard as a new bulkhead had just been put in (and now has been tested by the hurricane). Regulations require ten feet in from the bulkhead must be sand. So a big pile of sand was brought in, which the guys decided they would spread out instead of hiring someone else to do it.

The girls were busy doing something else while the hard labor was taking place.
