For the longest time, Chloe didn’t want to ride her bike. After asking her a million times over the course of the year if she wanted to go out and and ride bikes with me – she finally came to me and said, “let’s go ride, ma!” Now I can’t keep her off the bicycle. Learning that children will do things in their own time is a lesson in patience for parents.
While on a Sunday morning trip out to Harbes Family Farm in Mattituck, Chloe tried her hand at cattle ropin’.
Hmm. This looks a little easier in the cartoons.
Chloe looks around to see who saw her wrangle herself with the lasso.
The farm has a terrific Banyard Adventure and Maze this time of year. There are barnyard animals on display, pig races, giant tricycles to race on a track, a Wizard of Oz themed corn maze and Chloe’s favorite gem mining. It provides an afternoon full or simple pleasures for the whole family.
On Saturday evening, Chloe and I left home for a girls night out. With our sleeping bags and camp pillows in tow we headed west into New York City to The American Museum of Natural History, where we would be participating in The Night at the Museum Sleepover.
The Fossil Flashlight excursion was Chloe’s favorite part. (Mine too, actually!) The children were given a question booklet and had to roam through the darkened dinosaur halls, reading the plaques with their flashlights looking for clues and answers. It was such a unique amd wonderful experience.
We slept in the Millstein Hall of Ocean Life underneath the world famous, big blue whale. Though the actual sleep wasn’t the best, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. What a great experience for a child!
Chloe and her favorite dinosaur, the Stegosaurus.

Almost time for lights out! 11:30pm and Chloe is still awake.
On Tuesday morning when we got up, the clouds hung low in the sky and the cold rain was steadily falling. The temperature never broke 65 and there would be no sunshine for the day. Since she would be in the water getting wet anyway, Chloe decided that it would be a great day to go tubing. With the lake being warmer than the air, we figured What the heck, go for it kid…
The month of June has seemingly been nothing but rain, rain and more rain. Even this morning the mist was falling. Much to our surprise the sun made its way through the clouds before lunch time and treated us to a bright and sunny afternoon. Each of us really didn’t feel like doing anything other than lounging around the backyard today. We had an excellent day of swimming, BBQing and reading magazines outside. It was a really nice way to bring a good weekend to a close.
Woohoo! I love this freezing cold water!
