We diverted from our traditional trip to Ohio for the Fourth and hung local this year. We were able to take part in the annual lobster dinner at Mimi's cape house. We also visited some friends farther down on the cape. We all had a great time. What's not to love: family, friends, fun, sun, pool, beach, boat, the list goes on.
The kids were super excited to spend a day at the pool with their cousins. Couldn't even go home for lunch -
Icy treats -
Paige was VERY excited to wear her bikini for Madison. As you can see, that belly doesn't get a lot of airtime.
Love this pic, so cute all four of them -
Mimi's beautiful table for the lobster dinner -
Part two: After we left Falmouth, we spend a couple days in Dennis with some friends from Dartmouth. Their summer house is basically right on a great private beach. The kids had fun playing on the beach, looking for crabs, going on the boat, tubing, swimming, etc...
Marley was VERY lucky to be included in this trip. He usually gets stuck home with Sam, the dog sitter. He actually did very well. At seven years old maybe it is safe to say he is finally grown up! The beach in Dennis was dog friendly. As you can see, he was lovin' life hangin' on the beach all day with us and meeting some dog friends along the way.
Dinner back at the house -
Someone was cashed out even before dinner, too much sun!
The guys took the kids down the beach to get mussels for dinner. They got a huge bucket so Pete steamed them up and we all enjoyed on the back deck at sunset.
The view from their backyard is amazing. Sunset as we were waiting for one of the neighbors private fireworks show to start. 45 minutes of fireworks and the best view from the yard.
A perfect New England Cape Cod Fourth of July!!
