Bailey Arboretum

There are so many places out here on Long Island that we have yet to visit. I have a growing list of things I'd like to do and fortunately the kids are totally up for it. Today we headed out to the Bailey Arboretum. It is a beautiful place, easy to walk trails. Plenty of picnic areas. They have some nice gardening, as well as perfect photo ops. The Children's Habitat leaves open a lot of creativity for the kids. They also a wildlilfe group that helps rescue and care for birds on Long Island.

We had a great visit and will be back soon. If you are out on Long Island and looking for some place to visit on the North Shore? Good place right here.

If there is a critter to be found? Chances are Leah has her hands on it.

Leah took some photos. She played around with the macro lens.

  

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.

Leah is all smiles...

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

Ouch!

Poor girl

Get away!

All smiles again
