Our beach trip, and other things

We had an impromptou gathering at the West Haven beach last week after work. I work not too far from the beach, and its an easy place to meet the kids after work for fried food and kite flying. Given the late notice, it was great that we had nearly 15 people show up. The kids are really starting to know each other and play together, which delights me to no end.

Pictures are here, and the password is ourfamilies.

We also ran into Jody and Mendy, Rachel Pepper, and some other folks in the CommunityProject at Hamden's Earth Day celebration. Its nice to start to see other folks we know out and about and share our connection.

I'm still planning that our next gathering will be at Lake Compounce in Bristol on Saturday, May 10th (let's say 11:00). Its a great place for kids (and adults) of all ages, so it seems like a good place for us all to get together. I'll send out an invitation of sorts so I know who to expect, and we'll set up a meeting place and exchange phone numbers so we can find each other.

Finally, I can't help but share this article. From now on, everytime I think its hard to be a lesbian parent, I'll think of all this couple must have gone through in the past couple of years. I've got nothing on them.
