We had such a great time over the New Years weekend. We went to Seabrook with Mike's family and went clamming. It was a little different from before because the low tides were at night! The first night it was windy and rainy and we only got 12 clams, but the second night was gorgeous! No wind or rain and there were stars up in the sky! We limited out that night and had a blast!
Cole was very intent on figuring out how to clean those clams! He was a great helper. Gracie learned how to run the vacuum sealer and was a great help doing that. I think it took us about two hours to clean the 104 clams we got the second night. 
This toy entertained everyone for hours! What a bunch of goofs! 
We got to spend a lot of time at the park on Saturday because it didn't rain much that day. The kids roasted marshmallows over the huge fire pit and played on the toys! A little hot tub time was great when we got back!
Aunt Mary brought some noise makers for New Years Eve, we decided to do them over the fire pit and it was hilarious to watch the kids faces as they tried to get them to go off! One family brought some great fireworks and shared them with us at the park on Saturday night! They were amazing!!
The beach was so much fun! Even Eli got down and played, he loved it! The kids found all sorts of shells! Cole kept scaring us being the dare devil that he is by getting close to the tide and then running away fast before it got him!
Happy New Year! Three out of my four kids made it to bring in the New Year with a toast! My niece Faith fell asleep before midnight and then we tried to wake her up to celebrate and she was NOT HAPPY!! LOL, it was pretty funny to us, but I don't think she thought it was very funny!

Oh Katy, I LOVE this post! So many great pics and funny stories! Jojo definitely looks the best in the green/orange hair thing. And I was cracking up at how serious Mike and Steve look...and with Coley right between them! He is so like his dad! I'm so happy you guys had a good weekend. At least someone did! LOL!
I love, love, love Seabrook. Espececially when you guys are there. Loved the pictures. Especially the one where Cole is so serious about the clam cleaning. That kid IS going to be a chef someday. I'm sure of that.
Looks like Mike has mastered the art of cleaning the clams. Better than last year in the back of the burb on the way to Seattle with a pocket knife and jug of water...love ya...for some reason, still not getting updates on my site so I had some catching up to do!
Mike reminds me of a sea urchin! LOLOL!!!!! And Coley's expression watching the clam cleaning is priceless! Love these!!
