Fourth on the Porch

Today was the Fourth of July and it was a really nice day. We had the local parade that Andy and Allison participated in. I was out for a ride with my Dad to see just how busy things were in the area and they were quite busy. Falmouth Heights got swarmed by people. We did end up going to the beach at some point only because Uncle Erik put out chairs at an obscene time of morning. It was crowded there. Fourth of July Beach Goers are like nothing else. They bring everything with them and take up so much room for their little groups. It was a bit crazy. We stayed at the beach for a little while and then came home. We had a cook out and Mom got to come out to the back porch to participate. She’s had knee surgery and is recovering.

speaking of porches we collectively decided that going to the beach with the crowds there was not going to be enjoyable so we watched the fireworks from our porch and they were really good right from where we were. I took a bunch of photos trying to capture the little flag and the fireworks and the crowd at the same time. I think this one came out the best.

A Sweet Start To Summer

We headed to the Cape for the Fourth of July holiday and for the kids to start Science School. We stopped at Somerset Creamery to get some ice cream to officially kick off our Summer. We all went conservative with a small ice cream except for Andy who went a step above with a Waffle Cone and sprinkles. Red White and Blue ones for the holiday. I can’t say that I wasn’t more than envious of his choice. I do love a Waffle Cone.

We enjoyed a nice meal with everyone and got settled into our rooms.
