Summer is Flying By!











Well, I have now successfully made it through three weeks on the Cape with the kids! Doug's been coming down on the weekends to join us. We are having such a great time and I am soooo glad that I can do this for my kids!

We've had so much going on! And lots of WEATHER! Rain, sun, wind, you name it...we lucked out of the hailstorm, though. 4th of July weekend was fun. Lesley, Jay and the kids arrived on the 2nd and the weekend was quite a celebration. We had a visit from Jeff and Lauren on the 3rd which the kids thought was great! J&L ended up running into a lot of friends from Braintree and had a fun night out. The kids marched in another Pots and Pans parade. Then they had games and music at the beach. The night of the 4th, there was a party in the pavilion and then we watched some fireworks on the beach. Doug and Jay cooked up some breakfast for everyone on Sunday morning and then more time at the beach. Boy, was it windy on the beach that weekend!! It drove us off the beach on Sunday and the kids and Doug headed to the playground. Jay had to leave on Monday AM to head back to Texas and Doug went back to work.

We hung out with the cousins a lot their first week here. Monday was a great beach day, although somehow one of the boys lost one of my flip flops. It's either gone out to sea or is buried somewhere in the sand of the Campers Haven beach. I was not a happy mother when I had to chase Liam off the beach with a beach cart and no shoes!! That kid can run!!

Tuesday was nice because we had a visit from Grandma and Grandpa. The day dawned bright and sunny, but the clouds came in just before G&G arrived. We had lunch with them, walked around the park, and of course, took them to the Candy Store! It was a nice visit until Nolan decided to act like a 4 year old boy. He was trying to wake his brother, but was unsuccessful. When we got back to the trailer, he was sent to sit on the couch and then he fell asleep!! Meghan, of course, did not. I swear that girl just goes and goes and goes.

Wednesday, we made our visit to see Grandma Noreen. The kids hadn't seen her since their birthday, so it was a nice visit to get reacquainted. We then went out to lunch at A&W and then over to the trampolines, which was F-U-N. It was Liam's first time and boy did he enjoy it.

Thursday was just an ordinary day. The kids hung out with Jessica and Taylor for a bit while I did some shopping and then we just hung out, riding bikes, etc. Liam is now riding the kids bikes up, down and all around. He loves it!!
