Our trip to the Cape came to an end today. However, not before we got a chance to visit our friends. We went down further onto the Cape and met up with our friends Denise, Aaron and their kids. The kids were part of a theater group that performed some Shakespeare pieces like mini scenes and tableaus. It was fun to see the kids perform, they did an excellent job.

After the show our friends took us to a great lunch at Lost Dog. They had special tater tots there. I’ve never been much of a fan of Tater tots because they are always done in the oven. But the best way to enjoy them is certainly fried and then I put Sriracha sauce on them. Fantastic! The meal was great and the conversation lively. the kids got along great and came up with all sorts of fun ideas for a special cupcake place. I was also very impressed with how Andrew was at the restaurant. He was very polite with the waitress, all our work with him is paying off. We’re trying to instill in him the importance of looking people in the face when he speaks and saying please and thank you when ordering. This is something that we have always stressed with the kids. He’s starting to get it.

After lunch we drove home because I had to work tonight. We got home with about an hour to spare before work. I took in the stuff from the car and then opened all the boxes that I was sent. I’m going to have to make a cardboard recycling run soon because there were so many boxes. I unbox a bunch in the video below and get a couple of surprises.

And later on I checked, I bought two Ronan Pop figures. Don’t Amazon order on little sleep. Doesn’t work out.

Exploring the Wellfleet Audubon Sanctuary

Today we got up early and drove to Wellfleet to the Audubon Sanctuary. Along the way we picked up Aunt Cindy and Uncle Wayne to accompany us on this adventure. Many years ago I went on hiking adventures with Aunt Cindy and Uncle Wayne. We’d done part of the Appalachian Trail, some Snowshoeing and more. So, when we were thinking of some adventures on our staycation e knew that we had to catch up with them and have them along on our trip to the Audubon Sanctuary.

We went to this location last year during our vacation on the Cape. It was our Family Adventure Day at Wellfleet Audubon Sanctuary. We met up with Aunt Cindy and Uncle Wayne last year, after the adventure. But this year, they got to be a part of the adventure. We took the trail down to the beach and got to see the fiddler crabs, the tide come in and more.

Eva was very much into observing the crabs. She got very upset whenever anyone walked near them and frightened them back into their holes. There was a lot of shushing. Then the tide came in and water filled up all the holes. You can hear the bubbling sounds when you watch the video.

Andrew had a fun time digging in the sand with Uncle Wayne. They were digging trenches for the water and as the water came in for the tides the trenches would fill up. Andrew was very excited to make a “B”. He was also excited to hold a dead fiddler crab. He had no fear. Eva, not so much, she wanted nothing to do with it.
