My (Jen's) sister, Melissa, made the trek East to Boston with her family to visit us. We were soooo excited! This was a first since we usually travel West to Oregon to see them.
The first full day we took them on the "T" (train) downtown to the Boston Common to see our favorite kid's singer SteveSongs, but the weather was HOT! and we were melting:) It was a long day as we tried to do too many things with young children on a hot day. But, luckily we brought the kids' swimsuits to take a dip in the Frog Pond in the Commons! We missed the Duck Tours which was our main goal of the day. SOLD OUT. ARGHHHH! Get them early, we advise!
We went indoors to cool off and watch WALL-E which I thought was strange and a blaring commentary on environmental issues. The kids seemed to enjoy it, though.....well, those that stayed awake;) Then we took them to Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall and got dinner and ice-cream. OK, so it was my idea b/c I was starving and everyone grudgingly went along. I think all of the walking and heat did us in! Boston by fire! (well, they really didn't get to see much of Boston....sorry guys).
This is Hailey's "Cape" design in the sand....can you read it? We were soooooo lucky to get a last minute invitation to spend the week on the Cape. A surprise gift to get away and celebrate our 12th Anniversary!

An awesome friend owns this amazing place on the Cape and called us up on Tues. the 19th and said it was suddenly available until that Friday for us to enjoy if we wanted to. SURE! We quickly packed our bags and headed for some fun in the sun! The house was AMAZING and decorated to the T inside, only 3 houses away from the beatiful beach, and the weather was spectacular! We were in HEAVEN! The water was over 70 degrees which is unusual for Mass. and the sand was so white and pretty. We caught some baby jellyfish, boogey boarded, found seashells, and dug in the sand. What a perfect last hurrah before school starts! THANK YOU Nancy!
Cute daddy catching a break from playing with the kids in the water!

Hailey and Megan buried in the sand! They had so much fun burying each other in this beautiful white sand so we got a picture of them both buried. We tried to draw mermaid tails but you can't really tell. They were so cute!
Mama Jen catches some rays and rubs the belly........ahhhhhhh! How many more weeks? It's the final count down! Now if it wasn't so uncomfortable to sleep.................
