Slappy Leaves Fire Island

Maddie spent her last full day at Fire Island, learning all about thunderstorms. Uncle Ant and she spent many an hour looking out the screen door at the lightening and rain.
Uncle Wills gave Jess a break by feeding Maddie her first Uncle bottle.
After the storms blew through, Aunt Tara and Uncle Ant took her down to look at the frothy ocean.
And that evening we saw them off on the ferry, bayside.
All of us are barefoot in this picture, as all of Ocean Beach was flooded, some water reaching up to our ankles. Both Maddie and Jess enjoyed the puddle jumping.
Our trip back to LA began at 1pm with a trip back to Long Island on the ferry, Tio Greg letting Maddie be "King of the World".
12 hours and one cancelled flight later, we landed in Burbank.
And one tired baby, finally got to see her Dad. Sam was amazed at how much bigger she had gotten and even commented that her voice sounded older. Jess and Maddie were both so happy to be back in his arms.
