After lovely Bethany Beach our clan hit the road for the three days. On our first day we drove from Bethany to Brooklyn, with a pit stop for lunch at Mum and Pup's in Pennsville. Our first day of driving was probably our roughest, but we fortunately made good time and arrived in Brooklyn in the afternoon. Our wonderful friend Lisa welcomed our weary clan with open arms and quickly escorted us all to a nearby playground. Jack and Sadie loved the playground with its great sprinkler play area. We spent the night at Lisa's and got a little time to get to know her new son, Lee.
The next day we met up with a big group of friends from J.'s days in Boston and explored more of Brooklyn's playgrounds. We took to the road around noon and headed for Brockton. Our second day of driving was a lot of fun and arrived at uncle Alex and Aunt Gladys' house around dinner time. Gladys knows a thing or two about young kids and was amply prepared for Sadie and Jack. There were toys galore, and things really got rolling when a whole band of cousins arrived. Sadie was absolutely smitten with her cousin Amalia, and Jack got lots of love from the whole crew.
The next day Gladys took us to wonderful lake in Sharon, MA. We had a very pleasant morning of swimming and then hit the road for the last leg of trip to Maine. We got to Maine in the late afternoon just in time to pick peas for dinner. The kids were super excited to finally make it Momma Su's farm and had a ball exploring every last nook and cranny of the farm. More on the farm to come in our last installment...
