Here goes.
One of Amy’s best friends, Kaycee, lives in LA with her husband John and their fetus, Baby. Was that indelicate? Sorry. Kaycee and John will soon be joined in their LA home by a wee baby. We’re all wicked psyched – they’re gonna be great parents.
Kaycee’s mom lives in Maryland, and Kaycee made one last trip east while she can, pre-baby, and we met them on the island.
Kaycee is very cool and vibrant and therefore Amy loves her, hence we all do.
Amy hates that photo, but I think they both look beautiful, and it really captures them - they're always laughing.
It was good to see her and her mom Polly, who’s also cool and vibrant. Especially in a place as nice as Chincoteague.
We stayed in the same hotel we did when we met them last year, the Refuge Inn, which is a great place. Very near Assateague Island, comfortable, clean, with a pool – and run by very, very nice people. Plus it makes a fair backdrop for family photos.
And it has beds wide enough for kids to play on cutely without falling off and bonking their heads.
Oh, and it has horses outside.
We saw the wild horses on Assateague, too, but didn’t get any good pics of them. But we did get some of us being adorable on the beach there.
That’s Polly, by the way, taking a turn with the Babe In The Bjorn.
We also went for a hike to the old Assateague lighthouse, originally built in 1820 or something crazy like that.
Declan thought it was cool.
So cool, he wanted to climb it. And did.
All the way to the top. By himself. Amy didn’t help him at all. Tough kid.
On the way back, we spotted the toad I mentioned in the earlier post.
Declan though he was cool, too. So cool he had to pet him.
The toad survived, as did Declan. Turns out that whole warts thing is an old wives tale, created in a cruel attempt to stop little boys from being little boys.
All in all a great weekend. We even had, unexpectedly, perhaps the best Vietnamese meal I’ve ever had. On Chincoteague Island. Go figure.
