After our family Westport week, our friends joined us at the Big House for the weekend. The same group as last year, and the same perfect weekend of swimming and paddle boarding and tubing and frog catching and kids playing well and sitting on the piazza talking after the kids were in bed. It makes me happy beyond words to have these people in our life and to share this place with them.
We had 14 kids ages 1 to 12, and they all got along and took care of each other all weekend. The older kids offered the youngers rides on the paddle boards and included them in games. They all dote don Alden, who could often be found in Ethan or Micah's arms, pointing where he wanted to go while the whole crowd of elementary schoolers followed.

I love these sweet girls!
Every single adult spent some time holding Alden. I felt very spoiled!
The best hour of the weekend: floating here and then all 5 women relaxing on a flotilla of paddle boards
