… ok, maybe it was only an hour, and it was the bay not the sea, but it was awesome!

After Ron picked the kids up for Father’s Day, we fed them breakfast, cleaned them up, got their hair brushed and off we went on a “Sea & Land Adventure” on one of those bus/boats called the “Seal” you may have seen traveling about on Harbor Drive. We’ve never been on the tour, and I can’t believe we waited so long. On probably the hottest day of the year, we got a cool breeze coming off the bay and took a tour to the southeast of Shelter Island which included a “drive by” of the bait barge where there were tons of sea lions basking in the sun and frolicking in the bay. Sparty, as you can see from the photo above, slept through half the trip, but he woke up just after the turn around so he got to see the sea lions. The bait barge was a hit. Pappa made it until about 10 minutes to the boat ramp before he started feeling a little sick. Luckily for everyone on board, we made it back on land without incident!

With these two beautiful kids by his side, Ron couldn’t have had a happier Father’s Day.

Father’s Day Dinner … “Tomahawks” (something typical Bruce would get at Costco).

Classic …Don’t worry, we also had a good salad and bbq’d salmon.

The only thing missing was Great Grandma. Yesterday wasn’t a particularly good day for her, but I brought her a hot plate, enough for two meals, which included a slice of cheesecake. I don’t recall her ever turning down an outing at our house for a good meal. Although she was missed, we had a nice time and both Bruce and Ron had a good Father’s Day. The kids were great and the day turned out perfect.

I have lots of other photos to share in the coming days.
