Beach Week (Part I) . . .

Summertime brings kids back into the house like a tornado on the great plains...  Tired of hearing "I'm bored" and "There's nothing to do", my wife and I decided to join our families at the beach for a few days.  Looking to immerse ourselves into total chaos, we opted to take the kids to Lavallette, NJ to meet with my parents, brother, an sister and their families (10 kiddos under 12 years old) (Part I)... return to CT for a short break, and then visit with my wife's parents and brother in Westbrook (Part II) . . .  We had a great time away and the kids are no longer "bored"... I hope you enjoy the pics as much as we enjoy visiting with our families. . .
