Camping Gloucester- part II

so next was the hazy, chilly slippery pole contest where you hang out with a bunch of drunken Italians and watch their macho men ride out in boats(all dressed in costumes) to a slippery(lard covered) pole that hangs horizontal to the ocean about.... 30feet up or so... there is a flag at the end and they try to run out to it.... I guess it is a huge deal for all of them but I was just not feelin' the love.... it goes on all weekend and the winners from all the previous years compete on Sunday... needless to say we missed out on that one because Sunday it cleared up and we actually made it to the beach and saw the sun!





Carter was so happy to have promises of going to the beach, wearing his hat and sunglasses, playing in the sand with his toys finally fulfilled.... I was just happy to take some pictures and see how much or little Daisy likes the beach this year...


Daisy loved the beach... a little leary at first but then warmed up... this last shot was the end of the day when she had a mishap with sand in her eyes but other than that she loved it!

P.S. didn't you know the Unabomber hung out at the sandbar in Wingaersheek Beach?
