Fantastic Daddy Daughter Day in Long Island

We had a truly amazing day at the beach yesterday. There were 3 girls and 4 parents. The numbers were definitely in our favor, but the girls played great together and everyone had a lot of fun. My favorite thing from the beach yesterday was seeing Helena and Avyree Ride the boogie board and even…
