Randomness on Cape Cod

A Night in Woods Hole
Photo-A-Day #4488

I titled this post Randomness on Cape Cod because I had some big plans for doing some vlogs while at the Cape. Then we had two days tht were so cold and dreary my energy was sapped and I already had a bunch of videos in the can so I was sloppy and lazy about taking any video. So this is actually a compilation of things that we did while on the Cape throughout the week. Did I get any footage of The Beach? Nope. National Sundae Day? Nope. I am slipping. Paul’s Pizza? Nope. Next week on the Cape I will be better.

Today was the opening picnic for families of the kids in the Children’s School of Science. this was the first one that I have been able to attend. It was nice. We took the rest of our Paul’s Pizza to eat cold at the picnic.
We learned that Andrew is not a fan of this way of eating pizza. He did, however, find plenty of brownies and watermelon to enjoy as his meal. The kids took turns on the zipline as I took slow motion video of them, that is pretty much all the video that was specifically from today. We are having fun but heading home tomorrow.

Spending a Couple Days in a Windmill

Great Hair Dont Care
Photo-A-Day #4458

For the next couple of days we are staying at my uncle’s parent’s place. The house is a windmill located in a quiet neighborhood in Chatham, MA. The kids were so excited to stay there. There had been arms on the place but they were not there when we were. I remember them as a kids when I used to play with my older cousin.

We arrived, unpacked and explored. There was a little play area down the street with a climbing structure. Both kids were so excited to play on it. They both really enjoy climbing. I climbed a little but it was too small for me. The holes where you put your feet and hands were way too small and really hurt my feet. The kids did get a kick out of me trying, though.

We enjoy a quiet lunch on the patio. The neighborhood was so quiet even with a large truck digging a new septic next door. It is still better than sitting in my own back yard listening to my neighbors.

My Aunt Cindy came over in the afternoon and we all went out for dinner at Kreme and Kone. They do a real nice Fisherman’s platter which I split with Allison.

Before heading back to the Windmill for the night we stopped at my grandparent’s house to visit with them. We had a nice visit and then it was time to turn in. The kids slept on the second floor of the windmill, Andrew wanted to sleep on the 3rd but we figured that there was no need to dirty another set of sheets so they shared a bed with a pillow wall between them. Allison and I relaxed outside for a bit before the bugs got too bad and then a little while longer inside. There was no TV or cable and we turned in early happy for the Cape Cod night air to sleep.
