Plum Tired

On the Perkins' day off, we decided we would take a bike ride to Plum Island, an island a few miles away with a nature park and pretty beaches.

Don't selfie and ride

Once at the beach, we tested the waters and found them to be quite chilly! So those of us who are sane sat on the shore and watched the boys freeze.

Some of us did manly push-ups

Ellen and Caitlin <3

Mostly by accident, Luke and James wore matching outfits yesterday. And no, their shorts are not actually that short. Thank goodness.

Somebody had to chaperone that nonsense

Once we had had enough of the beach, we got back on our bikes and headed to the nature park. This was the boys' chance to show off and do stupid tricks on their bikes (see Mom's Facebook for video evidence).

Stopping for a cheese/water break. Note Ellen's shoelessness. 

 When we got back, the kids went home to die take a nap, and the parents and Ellen went to the Maritime Museum. Ellen said how nice it was that they had pet lobsters and how sad it would be if someone were to eat them...

I've got bad news for you, sister. 

Today, the Perkinses will be celebrating Caitlin's birthday by embarking back to Boston to go to the Museum of Science, Bunker Hill Memorial, a picnic lunch, USS Constitution, and ending the day with a pasta dinner at Al Dente. Happy birthday, Caitlin!!
