Cape Cod Weekend- June 2014

Friday and Saturday we tried to cram in all the fun things we hadn't yet had a chance to do. After the Cape Cod Natural History Museum, Kevin went for a short kayak ride by himself, and then took James for a short little ride around. Grandma went to the pond with them while I stayed in feeding and napping Miranda.

We had dinner at Great Grandma's. Grandma made swordfish and veggies and Uncle Dickie grilled them up. James played with Dickie's 50-year old toy bar set while he waited for dinner!

Dessert- yum!

James went to sleepover at Grandma's. We weren't exactly free though because Miranda doesn't take a bottle or go to sleep until very late, so we put her in pajamas and took her to get ice cream for me. The Smuggler is not my favorite ice cream place on the Cape, but it was the closest so Miranda tolerated the ride reasonably well. And I've decided they do frozen yogurt much better than they do ice cream, so as long as I stick that it's a win.

Saturday, James woke up at Grandma's and had some decadent breakfast she made him, then they went to the pond. Kevin, Miranda, and I ran out for lobster rolls at Sesuit Harbor.

Then we started getting overly ambitious and thought we could do a few minutes at a Cape Cod League game. Miranda was her usual fussy self, and James had a total meltdown because there was a playground right behind the field and he wanted to play instead of watching the game. Letting him play for a short while did not appease him at all. He is not a fair negotiator at this age. Disaster.

We rejoined Grandma at Ryan's high school graduation at Dolores and Dave's place.

Sunday we cleaned up Nesie's house all morning (glamorous) and then went home by way of Pete and Adrienne's house. To be continued in Norton, Massachusetts.
