Mulcahy Reunion Weekend

After living and working in Tokyo for almost 2 years Denis Jr., his wife Heidi and their three children came home to the States. (To fill you in on the family tree, Denis is the oldest brother of Sean, Maureen and Tara, the resident innkeeper.)

In an effort to get out of Japan in the aftermath of the earthquakes and tsunami, Denis and his family went on vacation to Vietnam and left behind almost everything except a few suitcases of clothes. With the American ex-pats now mostly gone from Japan it looks like Heidi and the kids will be home for good in Connecticut. Denis may have to return to wrap thing up at work.

This weekend they came back to Greenwood Lake for a mini Mulcahy family reunion at the Waterstone Inn. Saturday we all went to cousin Seana's softball game. For a post game treat the whole family went to Bellvale Creamery for the first ice cream of the season. The view from there is amazing! The ice cream shop overlooks the entire Warwick Valley. Then Aunt Tara kept the kids busy with an Easter egg hunt at the Inn. That night we ordered great food from both the Inn at Long Pond and Murphy's. We can't get enough of Murphy's lobster tails!! So good.

Sunday the kids went fishing (it's spawning season) from our docks and came across a great find, a HUGE turtle shell. Below is a picture, although it doesn't really do it justice. At over 20-inches long the locals say it's one of the largest that they've seen. We've hoping to preserve it and display it in the Inn.

The weather was gorgeous and we truly enjoyed some R&R time with the family.
