I am grateful another summer has begun in Beach Haven. Our older son and his family came to our LBI house for the long Memorial Day weekend. The weather was not completely wonderful, but they and their four sons didn’t seem to mind at all.

My takeaway was that it is hard to fill up four very big boys. In two days they drank two half gallons of orange juice and much else in similar quantities. They range from 15 to 20, and all are over 6 feet tall. I feel like a munchkin among them.
