4th July Weekend

On July 4th as it was a long weekend, we decided to go to Block Island. Ishaan was super excited to go on an island in a ferry, he asked me if there will be pirates on the ferry and I told him lets go and check. We decided to spend one day at New London Beach Park and another day at Block Island.

Ishaan enjoys playing in sand at the beach, he rarely goes near the water unless me or Neha takes him there. He is currently learning to swim and has become more comfortable with water so we were expecting he might go to water by himself and thats what happened. He and Rishab were very comfortable going in the waves, jumping on them and kicking them back to Ocean. Ocean park beach did not have big lengthy waves so it was easy for me to take him in the ocean.

On second day Ishaan enjoyed the ferry ride, he was very excited to sit in there, when I took him to the deck he was little scared as it was very windy but soon he started enjoying. After reaching the island we had to walk for abt 2 miles which Ishaan was able to complete successfully by his own. When we reached the beach he was so happy and full of energy, he stayed in the water for about 3-4 hrs, the waves were really big, I took him in the water to surf with the waves few times and he liked it, in-spite of salty water going in his mouth and eyes he was shouting Daddy lets do it one more time. I feel happy to see the adrenaline rush that he gets when he does any such activity, sometimes his initial reaction is -ve because he is scared but then he starts enjoying it.
