Southold Day 3

Nice weather can really improve a day out in Southold so we were glad we got one.  Joe woke up around 7 and headed out the door saying Uncle Scott said to wake him up. So pancakes with Scott was the first activity. It wasnt soon after that we were headed to the beach. Joe was determined to build a sand castle with a moat just like he heard from the "Moe and Sara" story Ted told him the night before.  So he dug and scooped various structures, sometimes while wearing his snorkel mask. He was convinced to go back to the house for lunch and soon after we all went to Greenport. He rode the carosel three times and even geabbed a few brass rings.  We also went and toured a fire boat that was as old as Grandpa, and stopped in at the tiny nautical museum.  When we got back to the red house Joe, Scott and Ted took out the kayak for a little spin collecting some clam shells on the little island across the water.  After that everyone enjoyed time on the porch.  He greeted Aunt Susie and Uncle Les with big hugs and showed Susie how his ipad worked.  There was one last trip to the beach to swing with Nick and look at shells and sit in a big hole in the sand.  Back at the house just as dinner was ending Aunt Mary Jo arrived (also greeted first with a big hug from Joe).  Over dessert Mary Jo asked Joe to read to us, so he got a "Harry the Dirty Dog" book and read the whole book to the room. By then the little man was done and asked to go to bed, upon whichhe requested another Moe and Sara story at the beach, "but a different one."
