Hello everybody, how was your long weekend? I spent my first Memorial Day weekend on Long Island with my family. Apparently, a lot of people drive out to the Hamptons to spend their summer weekends there, and now I know why -- I got to play outside, go for walks on the beach, and I even got to go swimming for the first time!

Here's Daddy and I going for a nice walk.



Mommy's got me all ready for my first swim!



I have to get used to the water first...



...and then here I go!



And then a little post-swim relaxing in the sun.
