Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02010

This morning Allison and I went for a walk along Great Bay. We did about a mile and then turned around. A Lot of the pathway is washed out at this point. I have not seen any washed out areas myself, I just know about them because we can’t get to them because there are blocks to keep people from walking on them. I’m not sure when it happened but it stinks because that was our favorite place to walk while here on The Cape. It is so pretty along that walk. I noticed that there were some cranes in the water and there were kayaks on shore and it looked very Cape Cod so I stopped to take the photo.

It was an overcast day so we were not going to go to the beach. So, after picking Andy up from Science School I decided to take them to Dennis the Doghouse, a hot dog place that I had heard of on Tik Tok. Unfortunately I did not find out until we pulled up to the empty parking lot that they were closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. So, we started back to home and we saw a food truck along the way that was the Corn Dog Truck. Well, we had our hearts and stomachs set on Hot Dogs so we stopped there. I mean we were looking over the menu on the way up and I could not wait to try their Hangover Fries. Andy was going to have the West Dennis Burger and Lava Tots. Of course Andy was going to have half of the things removed from the Lava tots so they no longer resembled what was on the menu but that is another thing. Instead we got giant corndogs, chips and drinks and ate them at a picnic table across from the Cape Cod Inflatable park. We’ll have to go back to the Doghouse in the next week or so.

On the way back I thought that we could stop for ice cream, too. I pulled off at a place and Andy and I looked at the menu for about 10 minutes deciding what we wanted only to discover when we got out of the car that the place didn’t open until 5pm. Fail number two of the day. So instead we went to Cumberland Farms so Andy could get a Hyperfreeze.

tonight after dinner the kids had some ice cream and were hanging out on the porch shouting at the cars. My Niece and Nephew originated this. They try to get people to honk or rev their engines. This sends the dog into a fit and it is so loud. But, it was remarked that these kids probably won’t be hanging out on the porch like this in a few years so someone should take a photo. Shelby went out and took the photo above. I do have to say that so far this Summer the kids have been getting along fairly well. So that is good.

We were at the beach this afternoon and I noticed a bird that did not look familiar. It looked like a duck but the coloring was wrong. It had the coloring of a seagull but was not moving about like a seagull at all. It ended up that this was a common eider which is sort of a sea duck. We crept over to it to take some photos and not disturb it.

While we were watching it a guy was running along doing his workout on the beach. He must work out on the beach all the time because he has definitely white but his skin color was a deep mahogany color like he’d been in the sun since 1975. He then jumped from rock to rock while I said “Parkour!” to Allison. If you don’t know that reference just google “Parkour and The Office” and you’ll see.
