Today Allison, Eva and I took Mimi and Grandpa Dano up to NH for a birthday party. The birthday party was for our niece that just turned one year old. The birthday party was really fun because they had a carnival theme. There was fresh popped popcorn (I had 4 boxes I love fresh popped!), a bounce house, a sprinkler kiddie pool, a photo booth (I was photographer), hot dogs and hamburgers, delicious cupcakes and even a jungle safari. It was all very elaborate but so much fun. We really had a good time.
Eva spent much of her day playing out in the yard. She was running all over the place from the bounce house to the sprinkler and then up the hill to a tent and back again. She was non-stop. It was nice that she had a little boy, Owen, to play with. Owen was just a little younger than Eva and they played really well together. Eva was a real sweetie to him and to her cousin. We had a fun time and it was nice to see the family. It was sad to only get a couple of days with Dan and Marcia but we’ll be seeing them in about 2 weeks. |

We left New Hampshire and then drove home to get our stuff for the Cape. We then shot down to the Cape with one detour to Barnacle Bill’s for some clamcakes and chowder. Starting off the holiday weekend right.
We got down to the house and there was a gaggle of college kids renting the house next door. Let’s hope that we don’t get a repeat from 4 years ago.
Luckily it wasn’t a repeat of 4 years ago. I hope my early intervention helped quiet them down.
Dad,
Yes, we are lucky especially with all the knuckleheads roaming around on 4th of July. But mostly it was peaceful.
