On the day after Christmas my sister Shelby and her family arrived on the Cape. We opened gifts and enjoyed lunch in the morning and early afternoon. I went on another long walk around the area to get those 10,000 steps in. We’d do some more steps when we went over to Cape Cod Lanes for an afternoon of bowling.
Bowling with the whole family was a lot of fun. We had two lanes and enjoyed the mild competition. Everyone had fun playing. Mom and Dad came a little later and watched. I’m glad that we caught our server and asked her to take a photo of all of us together, too.
when we arrived back home we hung out and had some pizza for dinner. No movie tonight, just a lot of time on the sun porch. The cousins stayed overnight with Andy and with Eva. Eva wasn’t super thrilled to be sharing her space with her energetic cousin but she made do and they eventually went to sleep. We had a very good day all together.
This morning I finished work and drove to Cape Cod to my parent’s house to visit with them for my Dad’s birthday. He had a classic car show that afternoon so I took a short nap and then headed over to the Falmouth Harbor bandshell to see the show. The weather turned fairly quickly after I had arrived so I got one pass around the show to see all the cars and then I ran home to get my Dad’s van so that I could bring it back and help pack up all the stuff to bring to the storage locker that the car club has.
One of the more interesting cars was this one. I guess it does drag races or something, looks fast. I’m not sure what the whole powered by water thing means but that is interesting. We cleaned up from the show and then went home and Dad opened some of his birthday gifts. We got him the shirt in the photo above. I thought it was appropriate. I do love an interesting shirt. You’ll see later this week.
Tonight we went over to the Coonamessett for dinner. I got the pork belly and scallops and it was excellent. We went home and enjoyed some cake and ice cream and I stayed the night on the Cape.
