This guy looks like he would make a nice Thanksgiving day meal.

Martha’s Vineyard also features several wild turkeys, which I was lucky enough to sneak up on.

On the way home, I was able to get a shot of the Osprey that nests at the entrance to the parking lot. I estimate his wingspan was three feet.

Football was the other major pass time. Despite the great defensive effort by Kyle, Nico completes the reception for a touchdown.

Between excursions into the ocean sand, construction was the order of the day. Nicolai was sitting neck deep in a hole he had excavated.

Kyle spent hours in the surf body surfing.

Jeanine was in the water for less than a minute before being totally knocked off her feet.

Maya was fearless, as usual. We had to keep an eye on her at all times because the waves were huge and the under tow very strong.

Today, we spent the day on the beach at Long Point. The waves averaged three feet with an occasional five footer.

After dinner, we went to downtown Vineyard Haven for ice cream and book shopping.

We dined on the porch, enjoying a cool summer breeze.

Later in the day, Maya and Sachi set up a Lemonade and Craft stand. They made several dollars using a variety of aggressive sales tactics. Saying no to these two girls was simply not an option for most passers-by.
