We went down to the Cape to celebrate Father’s Day and mt nephew Dylan’s fifth birthday. I took the day off so that I could head down with the family. It was a small party and it was just our kids and my niece and nephew. I think that worked out nicely because the kids had water balloons and a little pool to play in together. I had also brought along some Water Shields. Those were something that I picked up at Toys R Us and those let the kids defend themselves from Water balloons and also carry around extra water balloons.
The kids had a great time with their cousins. It was a nice party and they even had a pinata which the kids tore up.
Our sweet little boy is six now. He’s very excited about this new age. We went down to the Cape today and my Dad picked up this birthday cake. Andrew’s six birthday day started off with breakfast out at Mackie’s. This was Andrew’s choice and he really likes the place. Probably because he can get two lollipops after his meal. The two lollipop thing was because his gym teacher also works at Mackie’s on the weekends. She let him have “one for each hand” before and that is his go to line when he goes for the lollipops. You don’t even know how many Lollipops we have around the house. He’s never gonna eat them all.
Dad accompanied us to breakfast in the morning and then I brought Andrew over to school and came back to help Dad load a TV into the van. Tired of watching the games on a tiny TV it was time to move a one from home to the Cape to really enjoy a better picture on a bigger screen. It is a much better TV and we made use of it over the holiday.
The kids and Allison had a half day and I ran around doing errands to make sure that we were ready for the trip to the Cape. When they arrived home we packed up and headed over to Smashburger for a late lunch. So, Andrew got two special meals out on his birthday. We drove down to the Cape in the rain and got to the house, unpacked and settled in. We had dinner with my parents and then watched It’s Thanksgiving Charlie Brown, a yearly tradition.
