Fisher's Island

For the last week or so, my computer has not been working. I took it to one of my friends to see if he could fix it and he could not.. or so we thought. I turned on my computer yesterday to put pictures from my camera on and it seems to be working fine! For now at least. So I decided I better do a good long post because who knows how long it will last!
This is Dock Beach where we come to swim a lot. It is small, but it is fun to swim out to the dock. At low tide, I can walk the whole way. One time while we were there, we saw 3 horseshoe crabs. I had never even heard of those, so it was pretty crazy to me how big it was!

The big club is the beach that we have a membership for. We can go there to eat, go to the beach, and this is where the girls have tennis and golf. They have two rules: You have to wear a coverup unless on the beach, and no cell phones allowed. The red phone booth is the only place you can use your phone. One day, there was so much seaweed, and the waves were huge!

They have a tiny tramp at the house that all of the kids love to jump on.

The new and improved attic. The girls, Carter, Freddie and I spent about 30 minutes cleaning in the attic from all the toys the little kids had pulled out and not put away. It is nice to have it clean again.

Every Wednesday night, there is a softball game that is between two of the clubs on the Island. Usually we don't end up watching the game at all and we just pull out the camera. Yesterday, me and Addi let the kids write on our arms with a pen. Philip sometimes plays in the games and Carter keeps score. It is pretty fun to go, even if we don't watch much of it.

The next few pictures are just random. Halli and Lucy decided to do a "makeover" to themselves one day, but I thought it looked pretty gross and I didn't let them do it to me! Once a month, they have a craft fair in town. All the little kids make stuff and it is pretty cute. Lucy made coasters, cards, magnets and tacks. I really haven't done the girls hair too often, because they don't really let me, since they are not used to it. This was my first and last attempt to do Halli's. Maybe I'll try it again sometime since everybody loved it! That is Jack and Margo. They are the girls' cousins and were only here for two weeks. I think Margo is so cute. Jack was a handful. One of the clubs does a dance every Thursday night, so sometimes we go to it. Me and Halli all dressed up and ready to go.

Me and Jamie hanging out, he is the cutest boy ever. That is the view of the house from the road, which isn't even half of it. Toppers is where we go for ice cream just about every day! We played the tape on the nose game and the kids thought it was pretty fun.

Top row: their movie theatre, playing on their dock, the roads here that I love to drive on! Middle row: me and the girls playing games, and awesome clouds! :) Last row: the girls getting in "the tank" at Hay Harbor.

Now, there are only a few things that I dislike about this beautiful Island. 1-The girls have yet to finish a game with me. We have tried many games and Lucy gets "bored" with them all. 2-(you can't really tell in the picture, but..) The girls do fight and whine a lot. 3-The speed limit is no more than 30 on the whole Island and if you go even 2 over, you'll get pulled over. Or at least that's what they told me. 4-Everything on Fisher's is so dang expensive. I was thankful for my penny candies that I bought until they melted from being in our non-air conditioned house and tasted nasty. 5-They have the worst mosquitoes here I have ever seen. If you leave the house in the morning or at night without spray, you are just asking for about 10 big bites! But these are all just minor things that anyone can live with. I am actually really loving life right now and it already has been a great experience that I will remember forever!
