We are back down the Cape for the last week of Science School for the kids. We’ll try and do as much as we can this week but still take it easy a bit. We have a lot of plans. The main things are the rock sale and the visit between Eva and her friend at the Barnstable County Fair. Allison and I are going to go for a date night this week, too. So, busy.

Allison and the kids went down early and I drove down in the afternoon after I had gotten some sleep. I worked all weekend so I had to get some sleep on Monday before driving down. Tonight we took it easy and the kids played on the skateboards after dinner while I watched. Andy and Kylie played on the Skateboards, Dylan was making rubber band bracelets for the rock sale. Eva was doing her own thing. While I was out there I talked with our neighbor and gave her a set of Wipeout protective skate pads for her son. They were for much smaller kids. Her little guy is the lucky one in the neighborhood who gets our hand me downs to play with.

Enjoying Duke’s Donut Worx

The kids with donuts

This morning I went over to Mashpee Commons and picked up a halt dozen donuts from Duke’s Donut Worx. This is an independent donut shop that hand makes their donuts. I was third in line when they opened for the day. They put out a new menu each month and there was a great selection of interesting donuts.

Picking up donuts

The donuts that I picked up were the Cookie Monster, Pinky Tuscadero (raspberry frosting), Powdered Jelly (raspberry/orange), Sour Cream Old Fashioned, S’mores and a Black & White (reverse Boston Creme).

When we get special donuts we usually all taste test them together. So, we each picked the one we wanted most and got the biggest piece of that. Then we cut the other pieces into smaller ones so that we could try everything together.

My favorite was the one that I chose which was the powdered jelly donut. The jelly was a raspberry / orange. My second favorite was the Cookie Monster. They were all really good, though.
