More summer fun

Last Friday, the kids wore silly headgear.



Then I took Madeline on a special outing: a longish hike at Long Pond preserve.  We clambered over rocks ...


... found toads ...



... and generally had a good time!


Madeline spotted this fairyland mushroom.


And then, after we wrapped up the hike ...


... Madeline got the most Rhode Island lunch ever at the Middle of Nowhere Diner (coffee milk, clam cakes, and fries) ...


... and we topped it all off with ice cream.


The whole experience was fun, but exhausting.


Madeline revived herself for shanty sing though!


But then she ended up sad that Luke (the fiddle player dancing above) is moving to Colorado!  She told him afterward how sad she is that he's going.

And on Saturday morning, we met up with several friends at Roger Wheeler Beach.  While swimming with Madeline and Holden, I fished a crab up from under the water.  The girls decided to name it Crabby.  Ah, kiddos and their crustacean friends!
