Seeing Grandma

We started today off early with a drive to West Dennis to Captain Baker Donuts to check out this new donut place. They make all sorts of specialty donuts but you can also create your own donut to your liking. They make old fashioned donuts in plain or chocolate. We had a great time picking out the different flavors that we wanted. They were expensive but the experience as worth it and they tasted delicious. We chatted with the owner while we enjoyed the donuts and they showed us a few things around the place.

After donuts we headed to visit my aunt and uncle at their new house. We toured the house and had some fun chatting with them about a bunch of things. The kids wandered around the yard and explored while we did. Andy found the cornhole game and challenged me to a couple matches. He’s got great aim.

After visiting my my aunt and uncle we headed to see my grandmother. She made us lunch and we visited for a bit. I picked up the things necessary from her to start a little project to transfer VHS to DVD and then make that digital for her. I got the first set of tapes and the VHS/DVD player to make the transfers. It was a really nice night that we capped off with a cook out back at my parent’s house. We were lucky for good weather today.

Fourth of July 2021

Fourth of July Night
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00916

It was a different sort of Fourth of July this year. For the second year in a row there were no fireworks off the beach but there were plenty of illegal fireworks set up that it made up for the town not firing them off.

The day started with a Classic car ride with ym dad. We toured through Falmouth and into Cotuit and Osterville. He has a corvette and we drove with the top down despite it being a pretty cloudy and cool day. There was about 4 minutes of sunshine but that was about it. It was a nice ride, though. I used my drone and my Go Pro Hero MAX on the drive and to make today’s video.

When we got back from the ride there was no local parade, either. It was too chilly to go to the beach so we hung out at the house. We had a nice meal together and then watched some of the illegal fireworks all over the place. We took a nice walk on the beach that night and the sky was incredible. That was before the fireworks.

Andy amused himself by waving the flag on the front porch. He kept count of the waves and honks he was getting. He was quite proud of himself.

I did make a vlog today and it has lots of different footage.
