Well, mission pretty much accomplished. We celebrated Klarissa's 21st birthday! We did eat obscene amounts of ice cream at Toppers, go digging for clams, and have a bonfire. No fishing (at least not with poles -- Mariah did catch a minnow with her bare hands) but we did do some sweet ocean kayaking and Mariah has become quite an accomplished windsurfer over the course of a few days.
Please see pictures below to see evidence of said activities:
Some interesting facts we learned this week:
~ one should avoid singing silly camp songs about sharks when one is kayaking in VERY open waters
~ when an ice cream store employs a puppy theme, the result is instant success... especially with a certain young Jackson girl
~ Fishers Island is a pretty incredible place
