Captain for a Day


Photo-A-Day #3738

Eva was all smiles as she drove the Starfish, a boat that we took on a cruise on the Bass River. Bass River Cruises was a nice trip from Rt. 28 to the mouth of the Bass River in Dennis/Yarmouth, MA. We went on the cruise with my Aunt Cindy and my Grandmother and her friend. The kids loved the trip. We got to learn about all the houses on the river and who owned them over time and more. The kids even got to drive the boat. At first Eva was hesitant at driving the boat but she warmed up to it and was all smiles by the end. She got to drive a pretty long time, too.

Andrew also drove and he was so excited to drive. He was moving the wheel all over the place. He asked the captain if he could push buttons and turn the key. The captain kept a tight grip on the wheel and a sharp eye on the buttons. Probably a pretty good idea on his part. Continue reading Captain for a Day →

Mother's Day 2015

For Mother’s Day we started off with Mass with my mom. The kids were happy to have Mom with them at church. Andrew was a bit of a handful but impishly charming as usual. He insisted upon wearing his Woody Cowboy boots with shorts and of course pulled off an adorable look. More than a few people got a smile from that wardrobe choice.

We also had my grandparents and my mom over for dinner. We did burgers and dogs plus corn on the cob, salad and veggies. It was a delicious dinner and very nice to see Grandma and Grandpa. We haven’t seen them in a while. It was a nice afternoon.
