Mass Trip- Cape Cod Day 2

On the 4th of July, all the kids were just everywhere doing everything.  I didn't think to pull out the camera very often.  Here are a few random in action shots:

Cousin L keeping Grandma company

Grandma, ever doing something in the kitchen

Jay, showing off how relaxed he must be- he seriously NEVER naps.

My sister's family and The Frog, taking a sailboat ride.

When in boats, The Frog spends most of his time sticking his hand in the water

Peach, trying on The Frog's life-vest.  (which he calls "the big boy vest")

yum!

Grilled eggplant makes me want to give eggplant another try.  I usually am not a fan, but this was super tasty!

Peach loves her some good "walamela"

Jay is happiest with a good burger in front of him :)

Cousin C, chowing on corn

Auntie N, the grill master

The water's fun, the sand is fun, even the rocks are fun!

Goin' for a dock walk

The Frog wants in

Auntie N's special sugar-free (i think they use honey though?) chocolate rice puff ball thingies.  These were super good.

hosing off the kids after the meal

Most of us went for a swim off the dock after dinner.

Peach with Grandma

Jay is somewhat of a "lake snob" in that he hates the salty dry feeling you get after swimming in the ocean.  Luckily, they have this awesome outdoor shower to help prevent that.  Cool eh?

CA Cousins!

We had SUCH a great time visiting our California cousins!  So much so that we forgot to take pictures more than a couple of times...  My brother took the kids for rides on his long board. 

  I started taking pictures, my 5-year-old niece says to me, "I can take pictures!  I know how."  And promptly took over my camera.  I'm actually very impressed by many of them!

 I love that you can tell she took them because of the angle of the adults:

 I loved seeing The Frog in one of his cousin's pink and purple helmet.

Even though the parents stayed up late, talking every night, I hadn't had so much sleep in a long time because The Frog slept with the girls and so he'd wake them up at the crack of dawn every morning, instead of me.  They all ate toast together and then played in their room until I was woken up by Peach around 7.  It was AWESOME.  Also, either Peach slept all night, or I just couldn't hear her because she didn't wake up in the middle of the night even ONCE while we were there.  That alone was a huge incentive for me to move in permanently :)

 On the 4th of July, we had a super fun pool-party/BBQ at my sister-in-law's parents' house.  Everyone had a blast!

 Cousin kisses!

 In case anyone is wondering, yes this did end up in the pool at one point, thanks to I'll-give-you-one-guess-who.  Luckily, it floats!

 Peach absolutely loves swinging (as opposed to The Fearless Frog who doesn't).

 The Frog kept letting her run into him and they both thought it was completely hilarious.

Thanks so much bro!  We hope you all had as much fun as we did!  You'll have to be careful giving us such a good time, or we might try to come again sooner than you're ready to have us! :)
