Adventures on the Cape

We had another whirlwind weekend this past weekend as we traveled to the North Shore, Cape Cod and Rhode Island in just three days.

On Friday we drove down to Beverly, MA to have a photoshoot with a friend of ours from Gordon who has started her own photography business.  I had entered a little contest she was having on her website and ended up being the random winner of a free photoshoot!  I'm NEVER that lucky!  She is super talented and works extremely hard as a teacher at a private school as well as running Faith Ostan Hall Photography.  We felt so lucky to be able to get some family (and maternity!) photos and it was an absolute perfect day on the coast!  Once she sends me some of the pictures I'll be sure to post them on the blog!  Thanks again, Faith!

After our photoshoot we spent a few hours with the Charman's - the family that I used to babysit during and just after college.  The kids are SOO grown up now and it is always so wonderful to see them!  Jinx and Henry, who were 5 and 6 when I first started babysitting are entering 7th and 8th grade next year and little Willy, who I first held when he was just six months old is turning 7 in August!!!  It is so hard to believe how quickly time flies, but I feel so blessed to still be in such great contact with such a wonderful family.  Tisha and Bill have been so generous over the years, passing on baby clothes and toys and books and just this last trip they gave us their old wooden train set which Camden has been obsessed with since we got home!  Thank you, Charman's!  We Love You!

After a fun afternoon on the North Shore we headed off to the Cape!  We left around 2:00 thinking Camden would take his afternoon nap in the car and we would beat the traffic to the Cape.  Unfortunately, we were stuck in SLOW traffic from the tunnel in Boston all the way to Plymouth, MA!  Ugh!  Camden only slept for about 40 minutes, so it turned out to be a pretty long drive.  Once we arrived though, we were treated to a wonderful, relaxing, fun mini-vacation with Grandma Sylvia and Grandpa Gordon.  We feel so blessed to have family in such a BEAUTIFUL place!  We had a great time visiting with my grandparents, spending a great chunk of time on Saturday at Skaket Beach on the bayside.  We bought sandwiches at a great little deli and brought them with us and Camden and Scott had so much fun digging holes, building castles and splashing in the water.  Camden warmed up to Grandma Sylvia and had fun jumping in the waves with her.  Here are some pictures from our fun time on the Cape.

Their amazing backyard on a deadend street on a little pond.  A quick and easy drive to the bayside beachs and the ocean beaches!  Pretty perfect!

After a fun visit on the Cape, we left on Sunday morning to drive to Rhode Island for Brian and Sarah's engagement party!  Scott's older brother Brian and his wonderful fiance, Sarah, are getting married in November and we had a blast celebrating with them and meeting her family for the first time.  Unlike the drive to Beverly and the Cape, Camden slept from door to door on this trip!  Phew!  Here are some pictures from the party...

Congratulations Sarah and Brian!  We can't wait for your wedding!  We had a great weekend and Camden slept all the way home from Rhode Island!  
I need to be better about updating the blog because we have had lots of adventures recently!  I'll post again soon!
