Hanging out with friends

Hanging out with a friend (Maddie) over ice cream in Millburn 

Taking another friend (Allie) for a ride around town


Historical Day Trip

Camp Shanks Museum in Orangetown, NY

 This was the largest departure point of U.S. troops to Europe during WW 2. In this camp they did their last checks, got their equipment and then boarded ships destined for Europe in 1944-1945. Later German Prisoners of War were also housed here.


Typical load of one soldier.



 DeWint House - George Washington's Headquarters at Tappan, NY

 
 
Several historical-looking bird houses were a hit with Sam
 

 


We need to bring back this door design popular in 1700's. This keeps the children indoors, the fresh air coming in, and others (cattle mostly at the time) out.

4th of July fair in Millburn

Every year our town has a fair for kids for 4th of July. Sams' favorite part was the electronically-controlled mini-go-carts.

Moving day is soon!

The most important cargo is packed and ready to go!
    We are moving to a larger place across town in Millburn, NJ.
