Father's Day
Today was a quiet relaxing day, except we
again started early. Not the we wanted to, but the kids decided that 6 am is the
time to get up. We went to church with Naomi's Grandpa who sings in the choir.
After church, we went to a local diner and then for a drive up Long Island. We
stopped at a local small park to let the kids play. A Ice Cream truck
pulled into the parking lot and started selling Ice Cream. After about 5 minutes
we realized the truck was on fire. I called 911 and the Fire Trucks and police
came. Made Donald's day :) Luckily fire went out before it got really bad. It
was in the engine compartment, looked like the back insulation. The driver just
pulled the piece out that was on fire and through it across the parking lot.
When I called 911, I had to find out where we were. A guy
there told me we were at the "Flight 800 Park". I didn't make the connection,
but afterwards, I looked around and realized this park was dedicated to the
flight that when down just off shore of this area. It was a nice little park
with a pretty little flower garden and 2 playgrounds next to a little lake.
When then drove up the island to Hampton Bay and went to the
beach where the kids when looking for shells. It was pretty windy, but the kids
were having fun. Donald even took off his shoes and went in the water. I am sure
it was cold, it looked cold :) After we got back to our hotel, we ate the pizza
we brought home the night before. The kids went to bed and to sleep tonight, I
think they were starting the finally get tired.
