How about Sue's hat at Showplace Ice Cream!! The Chudyk's came a week later for the first time. Then we had a family Labor Day Weekend, here is a picture. Just after a big storm in late October, it was time to close up. We made a winter visit during Christmas week.

2005
My buddy Dean made his first visit to help me with water, it was brisk in April. A month later Sue and I had a work weekend in May. Our neighbor rebuilt his house. In mid-April we noted the progress then again in May. Here's some shots from our first June visit and at the end of June when friends stayed; we went to see The Musical Box in Atlantic City. Then came our August Vacation. Gloomily, after a great summer came the final weekend.

2006
First trip down, turned the water on and did a little kitchen upgrade. Back 2 weeks later to finish the kitchen and stain the deck. In late July went down to LBI with friends and saw Trespass in Phoenixville. August was Vacation time. A long October weekend to close up, came much too quickly.

2007
My buddy Dean joined me again to turn the water on in April. Springtime visits are to get the house ready for the summer. Sue and I went down again in June for another work weekend. We had the Frohm Family visit for the first time in early July. Sue, Jill, a bunch of kids and me came for a week later in July. August gave us a wet, windy vacation. Then Dean and Suzi joined us again for Chowderfest weekend. October, and beach fun is over for another season.
