Nintendo Love

Matt gave Leah his Nintendo DS. The only good that can come from this is the father-daughter bonding that is happening.

The End of the Island

Matt asked Leah is she wanted to see the end of Long Island and she said yes. Off we went from the Water Mill to Montauk Point. It was a great moment of spontaneity on Matt's part. It was about a 30-45 minute drive from Water Mill.

I don't know why we waited so long to make the trip out here. It is perfect for us. I can't wait to head back and explore the area some more.


Montauk Point Lighthouse


At the end is the Montauk Point State Park. After 4 pm parking is free. The place was packed. There are hiking trails, playgrounds, restrooms, and bbq grills available. There is also a restaurant and gift shop.

There were surfers and fishermen everywhere.






Leah is all smiles...

Still smiling...Louis on the other hand is up to no good.

Ouch!

Poor girl

Get away!

All smiles again

Apple Picking in Water Mill

We went apple picking today in Water Mill at The Milk Pail Farm, Orchard & Greenhouses. We really need to take advantage of driving our East more often. It is beautiful out there. It was the perfect day for a drive out to the Hamptons.

Water Mill is a hamlet of the Town of Southhampton. The houses in the town are gorgeous. As of 2009, Water Mill was listed as the sixth most expensive Small Town in the United States by Business Week. The median home price was $2,238,676. There were many properties for sale-it is always nice to dream :)




They have the very best pumpkin patches at the Milk Pail. You can pick pumpkins, ranging from mini to very large, right off the vine. They also have gourds of all kinds.


Leah's favorite apple variety, Golden Delicious, were perfect for picking.

Found a perfect one.

Banging away on the pumpkins together.











Plenty of apples for the eating-Leah took advantage. All of the varieties were delicious.



If that weren't enough she had to have a caramel apple.

Contemplating her attack...

After her first bite of the candy apple...her tooth fell out!


But this didn't stop her from eating some more of her caramel apple.
