“what the hell is that?!?”

Is exactly what Jack said when he saw THIS on the beach yesterday:

Yup, that’s John. Out of his chair, without his newspaper and PLAYING CORNHOLE ON THE BEACH!!!! This is a very, very big deal. The man doesn’t leave his chair much and hasn’t for the 13 summers we’ve been down at Sun and Surf. You can pretty much always find him in the same spot, reading the paper, drinking his beer, wearing his hat and listening to the Mets and not really talking to anyone too much. (he will play a game of catch with the boys, go in the pool or ocean with them, but this is unheard of) But yesterday, there was this.

This is what things have always looked like (even during the flood of 2010):

Then Jack said “AND he’s being social?” The kid’s sharp but the whole thing was completely blowing his mind.  Total confusion.And in other beach news, it was a fantastic (although shocking) day down at Sun & Surf. Christine, Jayson, Tommy & new baby Charlotte joined us for the day and the boys were so happy to have all their buddies down there to hang out with and play lots and lots of baseball.Baby Charlotte enjoying her first day at the beach at three weeks old. She was all wrapped up and under the umbrellas all day and was happy as could be.The Tom half of Timtom. And the Tim half of Timtom.After a great day and the rain holding off until we were literally walking to the car  we came back home and ordered some pizza. Charlotte had her own meal and then had a little photoshoot of her own (pictures on that soon).Hope you all had a great first day of summer! I think we’re off to a great start- and I took this whole weekend off!
