Happy Fourth of July!!

Happy Fourth of July!!! It always seems like this weekend is the real start to the summer, and this year, this weeks weather was practically the first of actually summer temps and sunshine! So, even though we would have anyway, we decided to go down to my parents Cape house for a long weekend. We left on Friday afternoon. The kids were excited for the trip. I even got them to sit still for a minute, the same minute!!

On our first night down, we went out to dinner at the Court Yard in Falmouth. Its super cute with a fountain in the center of the outdoor eating space. In the water, they have these battery operated fish that look super real at first sight! Cam was obsessed with them He had everyone there watching him and laughing. He thought they were real at first, but after realizing they were not, he would grab there top fin and let them flop around in his hands. We loved it, even though he was probably breaking the rules!

Saturday morning, we decided to start the day by going to this cute toy store in Falmouth. We got Cameron this cute little tee-pee to have as a little play house while we are on the Cape. He loved playing in it. Avery got a new lovey that she won't put down! After a stop at a cupcake shop, Mark spotted a go cart for sale on the side of the road and had to sopt and buy it. Yippee for me... So that took up a bit of our day!! Cam and all the other boys staying at the house had a blast playing with it around the neighborhood. (Cam just 'tended to drive it "To loud, Mommy!")
We played with his new sprinkler with his cousin Ryan, who I failed to get in any of my pictures!! He was there, I swear!!

Avery watched from a distance. She's not such a fan of the water, even in a tub yet! She's gotta learn to love it someday. We are a fish family, through and through! She had fun watching regardless!!

The next day was July 3rd, which was when most celebration things were happening around us. Our friends Steph and Justin and their kids came down. We went to the beach. The water was chilly, so it took Cameron a litle while to get used to it! Until my dad came over with the jet ski. Then he was all over that! In this pic, I promise Mark was right there, just cropped out, and they were not over their head! :)

When we got back to the beach we got the kids into there patriotic clothes and had a BBQ. Once it got dark, my brother set off a whole bunch of fireworks from our beach. These were the fireworks, but Cameron and Avery both fell asleep before they were set off, so I went and saw those, and when I came back, Mark went and watched another set a few beaches down.

On the actual Fourth of July, we went to Falmouth Harbor and had a picnic and watched the boats go by. Doesn't Cam just look like the classic All American kid here? We all had a blast the whole weekend!! Can't wait to back and maybe do some tourist stuff! We don't do that alot!
