No Sun but Plenty of Fun at Spectacle Island

      Last Saturday, I did something I've never done before and that was visit a harbor island outside of the summer. Although I was working, I still had never gone to Spectacle Island in the fall. It was nice to take a break from school and link up with some friends and take about 360 people out to the island.

      I went around to many tables asking if people had ever been to an island with us and many said yes. It was  nice to know that we left a good impression on them about the harbor, enough for them to want to take the trip with us again. A family I hung out with for most of the trip was the Cox family. She came out with her brother and 4 nephews. She was from Waltham and the rest of her family was from Roxbury. She had came a longer way to show her family a nice time in the islands. She had came with us before but she had visited George's Island and this would be her first time on Spectacle. They were very intrigued by treasure beach as they lasted almost half on hour searching for sea glass. Then they went to the top of the hill and took many pictures of the view. 

I enjoyed going to the top of the hill again since I hadn't been up there all summer and wanted to remember the feeling.

Thank you,

Staffle day

Staff day was so much fun. Honestly, we played kick ball and the boys played football. We had Bruce, patty, and sue's company feeding us and then most of us hit the beach. Kick ball was so much fun because one, I haven't played it in forever, and two it was a great experience playing with most of staff that I don't see everyday. The weather was perfectttt!  Even though it was very hot the ocean water was freezing cold. After a while in the water I got out because my toes were getting numb and I wanted to dry off! Overall, it was really nice spending the day with people I've worked with all summer, and since we're coming to an end soon it was really great!
