The Siemers Family
Leaving NY going back across the water into NJ.
Fire Island Lighthouse, on Long Island New York - was closed at the time when we went! The coast guard still uses this facility too.
Landen having fun on the playground nearby, but it was so cold along the ocean there.

Running on the boardwalk - more like the wind taking you away!

My husband and I have been working on this for a couple of months now to coax Landen into wearing this Yoda costume from Star Wars. Anyone who doesn't know already my husband is a huge fan of Star Wars, so of course when we first saw this costume he fell in love with it for Landen to wear. This was his first year to really go out and Trick or Treat and he got the hang of it pretty good.
Say Cheese!
The final outcome - it really does look like Elmo!
Hard at work carving his Elmo pumpkin with Grandma and Matthew!

Some of the fun things we did this summer was take Landen to Sesame Place in Pennsylvania about an hour away. It was so worth taking him to this Sesame Street Theme Park. He was absolutely over joyed and had so much fun there. Next year we are planning to buy season passes for two reasons - it's not that far from our house and Landen loved it!
