On most mornings at the Cape house Allison and I try to get a nice walk in. We walk along Great Bay which is one of the prettiest places near the house. This is one long inlet that has tons of boats and nice houses and great views. We do a good couple of miles on our walk and hope to do a lot more of it this season on the Cape.
The kids started their Science School this week. Andy is going to the early class with his friend Evie and Evie’s little sister. Andy was really excited when he came home and I think he’s going to love his class this year. I also like that he is in the early class and despite it being a carpool hassle it does give him his own time with his own friend. He and Evie are having a blast together in class but also at the beach. The play for hours in the water and they have their own little short-hand for playing together. It has been very positive for Andy.
Eva’s class has two other kids in it. Eva knows one of the students and that is good. She’s enjoying it and with Auntie Tara teaching she is sure to learn a great deal.
Today was the Fourth of July and it was a really nice day. We had the local parade that Andy and Allison participated in. I was out for a ride with my Dad to see just how busy things were in the area and they were quite busy. Falmouth Heights got swarmed by people. We did end up going to the beach at some point only because Uncle Erik put out chairs at an obscene time of morning. It was crowded there. Fourth of July Beach Goers are like nothing else. They bring everything with them and take up so much room for their little groups. It was a bit crazy. We stayed at the beach for a little while and then came home. We had a cook out and Mom got to come out to the back porch to participate. She’s had knee surgery and is recovering.
speaking of porches we collectively decided that going to the beach with the crowds there was not going to be enjoyable so we watched the fireworks from our porch and they were really good right from where we were. I took a bunch of photos trying to capture the little flag and the fireworks and the crowd at the same time. I think this one came out the best.
