Kayaking with the Strickers

Yesterday Casey & Duncan spent the day with Aunt Susie & Uncle Denis Stricker. They treated us to kayaking on the Nissequogue River that connects to the Long Island Sound. We had some rain, but only for about 15 min. and were able to scoot under a tree to stay dry. It was a gorgeous day. The area is beautiful- a marshy river surrounded by gorgeous homes (but not too many), swans, egrets, and other birds. Unfortunately we didn't have a camera, but will take pics the next time. We also saw a cool turtle! What a great, fun summer day.
