Fun with Nana and Pop

The reason we get to go to Montauk and have great mini vacations by the ocean is because Eric's parents have a place out there.  (Thanks, Nana and Pop!)  Eric has a lot of fond memories of spending time out there during the summers of his youth.  It's nice to think that Madeline will have some of the same great experiences there that her Dada did.  

Nana is a go-go-go grandma.  She always has a fun new idea to keep Madeline amused.  She's like a magnet for small children.

For example, this past weekend Madeline was introduced to a new game that we call Go! Go! Go! Stop!  It's pretty simple.  All players drum their hands on the table when Nana says, "Go!" and we all stop the instant Nana says, "Stop!"  Usually the drumming continues until Madeline lifts her hands off the table, at which point the Stop! command is given.  Madeline though it was pretty much the best game ever.

We also got to visit Pop's boat, and Madeline wasted no time in requesting to be brought on board.  She's been pretty obsessed with boats recently...even before we traveled by ferry last week.  Who knows?  Maybe she'll have a nautical future in store just like Pop!

 Thanks for the nice visit, grandparents!
