Well, we have been on vacation for a week now. What a fun week we have had. The kids have been having such a good time. We have been at the beach almost every day. Meghan has told me that she is a mermaid....that explains why she never gets out of the water! Nolan has progressively gotten more brave as the week has gone by.
The weather here has been good for the most part. We had a cloudy/rainy day on Wednesday and so we headed out for a Dougie drive. We drove down through Chatham and Orleans and then on to Truro and stopped in Provincetown. We took a walk down the main street (Commercial, I think) and enjoyed the quaintness and the sights there.
On Thursday, we went over to East Dennis to meet up with Alison and Sarah (from Twinstuff). We had nine kids at the beach and boy did they have fun. They were running through the tide pools and collecting crabs. They all got along so great!
Today, we spent the day at the beach. Then this evening the clouds were rolling in as we were eating dinner. Meghan decided to leave the table to dance to the radio. When she made it out to the street, I turned to her and told her that we don't play in the street. She looked at me and said, very smugly, "I'm not playing, Mommy, I am dancing" and she continued her dance. My, my, my....her teenage years will be fun!
We went to candy bingo tonight with Tommy and Caroline and Annie. The kids were a little antsy, but started to get into it. Each time that Meghan had a number come up on her card, she would smile from ear to ear and say "I'm winning! I'm winning!" Well, as it happens, we didn't win. As everyone started gathering their cards and turning them in, Nolan looked at me and said "Did we win this time?" When I told him no, he started crying. He was so sad not to win the candy. Maybe next time...
