Cape Cod

We had an amazing couple of days on the Cape this past week visiting my grandparents with my Mom, Caren and Clara!  It was really windy, but we still managed to have lots of beach time, lots of family time and many wonderful memories were made.  We feel so lucky to have family in such a beautiful area and it was really special for our kids to spend some quality time with their great grandparents! 

 Sheer joy!

 Love these three!

 Constant motion...

 One of our favorite parts about our trips to the Cape is bringing our kids to the ocean early in the morning before most of the house is awake.  It's much easier to just get them out of the house than to keep them quiet for others to sleep.  Both of the mornings we were there, we were at the ocean before 7:00am, let the kids run around for an hour and then got bagels and muffins at a favorite little store/bakery on the way home. 

 Our first morning there, we brought my Grandma Sylvia to the beach with us before everyone else was awake.  She loved seeing the beach so empty and the beautiful sun on the water and says she's definitely going to return early in the morning again soon!

 Love her...

Scott went for a little run on the beach, and came back to find us to bring us down the beach to where he saw a small shark that was dead on the sand!  It was pretty exciting for all of us, thought I didn't take a picture!

Love this one...

 Later in the day we went to Skaket (the bay side).  The kids had a blast, but it was really windy!!

 We're so thankful for this special time with our extended family and can't wait to go back again (hopefully) soon!
