On august 23rd (the day after my birthday) my little brother Danny flew in and spent the 23rd adn 24th with us. My other siblings came as well so we had a little reunion before Danny headed off to Egypt. He had a 30 hr layover, so it was short, but fun. Maia picked him up at JFK on Monday then headed to my house where Matt and Colleen met up with us as well. We spent Monday night chatting and then on Tuesday we walked to Brooksvale park and played with the animals and threw around the football. It was great! I love my family! then we came back for thai food and more chatting. Then Matt and Colleen took Danny back to JFK where he flew away to Egypt. We are missing him, which is weird because it's not like we ever really saw him that much before he left, but it's always a little anxiety producing to have a loved one in a foreign country. I hope we get to visit him before he heads back. I'm thinking summer 2012.
The siblings: Maia, Matt, Danny Megan
The whole crew minus Colleen (she took the picture for us.) lt to rt: Maia Greene, Brigham Greene, Matt Stoker, Danny Stoker, Megan Rowberry, Joseph Rowberry, Kate Rowberry, John Rowberry, Justin Rowberry, Nathan Rowberry, Samantha Rowberry, Michelle Rowberry.The next set of pictures is from our trip to Rhode Island. One of Justin's co-workers owns a beach house in Rhode Island. We were invited to enjoy it (along with all of his other co workers.) Of course no one else has kids, but fortunately pediatricians (especially developmentalists) are very kind and tolerant of little ones. We had a BBQ at the beach house, and then went to the beach. The beach was gorgeous. The waves were much bigger than the Connecticut waves. We also learned to catch these cool little crabs. I think they are horseshoe crabs as they don't really look like the typical kind you think of. After the beach we went back to the house, cleaned up and went out to eat at a popular sea food restuarant. The boys shared a lobster because they really wanted to try it and it was a pretty good price. yum!
Our bucket of crabs. It was amazing how many there were. All you had to do was start digging and you would find tons. They just feel like little rocks and try to run away as fast as they can. It was fun to catch them.
Joey, John, Nathan and Justin catching crabs.
Michelle. See sometimes she lets me put her hair in pony tails, just not that often.
Hiking sleeping Giant with the cub scouts. (I'm the leader over the bears and wolves). It was fun!
