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!
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.
