Well, I am very happy to say that Munchkin and Dad [Frank P] are doing very well at the retirement center in Kittery, Maine. For Labor Day weekend my brother invited the family to take a long ride on his Catboat. Most of us were able to attend, the day could not have been nicer, the sky clear- full sun and the water sparkling. The wind was a bit low - so sailing was almost a no-go.
We headed out toward Nantucket Sound. This trip was a first for both Munchkin and my Dad [since his stroke a couple of years ago now]. Neither Munckin nor Dad had any trouble at all adjusting to the sea air, salt water and the motion of the boat. Munchkin settled down nicely with Dad and enjoyed the ride across the water. She also took a walk up on top of the boat - starboard side.
When we docked for some time on the beach, we were not sure how Munchkin would take to the water, but she did just fine, for her first time swimming in the ocean. Go Munchkin!
On the trip back to the dock, I found that both my four year old and Munchkin had fallen asleep. So very tired from all the fun and excitement from our day of boating, beaching, collecting shells and rocks and just being with the family.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Stay tuned for our next update(s) of fun! next weekend at the Kittery Retirement Center for a Clam Bake.
Best regards,
Ms. Heather-E. S. G. [Frank P's daughter]
