A Good Book, Good Pizza and Good Movie

The Sky on Great Bay

The Black Widow movie was released today. I took Allison and Eva to The Falmouth Cinema Pub to watch it. We did not have dinner there because they don’t have enough staff to run the kitchen. So, instead we got some Paul’s Pizza for dinner before we went to the movie.

Allison and I walked great bay in the morning and then she took Andy to swimming lessons. I took the kids to Science School and then hung around Woods Hole and read The Falcon’s Feather, the second book in the Explorer Academy series. I finished the first book the day before. I have all five of the books and am supposed to review book five but needed to read the other four first. I started reading the first book to Andy, too.

The rest of the day was pretty rainy so we hung out at the house.

Eva enjoyed the movie and she got invited to go and see it with a friend of hers tomorrow night as well. It was a good one to see because we had just watched Captain America: Civil War which takes place right before this movie in the timeline. We’re going to have to get the rest of the Marvel movies completed soon, though so she can watch shows like Loki.

Family Dinner at the Flying Bridge

Today was the best weather of the week. Allison and I went for a morning walk along Great Bay as we do each day at the Cape. This is a very scenic walk and a good way to start the morning. The kids had Science School today and Allison brought them while I helped dad track down a leak in the ceiling of our bedroom. Eva had been sleeping in our bed because she could sleep on one side while the drips were caught in a pan on the other side. Allison and I have been sleeping in her room.

For dinner tonight we all got dressed up and went to The Flying Bridge. I think it was the first time in a long time where we had everyone, all 12 of us, together at the restaurant. It has become a yearly tradition to go there for dinner. And each year I get the amazing fisherman’s platter. After dinner we walk along Falmouth Harbor and take photos of everyone. We actually got an entire family photo taken by a friend of my sister. That’ll probably go on the Christmas card this year. This is one of my favorite Cape traditions. Such a fun night. Such a great meal!
