We went out to the Hamptons last Sunday to visit cousin Scarlett, Uncle Ray, and Aunt Corinne at their beach house.

There is Scarlett enjoying a moment with our dog Lucy.

And here she is with Lucy and Andre and her new puppy "Lu-Lu" off to the right. "Lu-Lu" was, I suspect, named by Scarlett as an homage to Lucy, whom Scarlett has always had a fondness for.

Here Luke meets Lu-Lu and meets his match.

And here Luke encounters sand for the first time. We were a little concerned he would try to eat the sand, since he tries to eat everything else he can get his paws on, but he was smart enough not to.
