jUNe Day

For the 43rd consecutive year, the town of Westport, Connecticut welcomed staff of the United Nations for jUNe Day. The day serves as a reminder of the importance of achieving peace through international friendships. The town of Westport is a quaint little town on the water. It was just a short drive from our house. It was a beautifully warm, sunny day. We started out at the opening ceremony where gifts were presented to the town by UN representative. Then we ventured to the beach, which is a private beach, reserved for Westport residents regularly. The kids, as usual, had a wonderful time playing in the sand. Many sand castles were constructed during this day! It was getting pretty warm and we were all getting hungry, so we headed over to the pool for lunch and swimming.

They had pizza provided, so we got some pizza and sat in the shade of some big trees and ate our lunch before venturing into the pool. They have two swimming pools, one regular pool and one dedicated kiddie pool that was about 2 feet deep throughout. The kids could play there without our assistance, which was great!

After the pool, we got our free ice cream, and managed to pack up and head home just as a rain storm moved in. You'll see below a collection of pictures from our day.
