4th of July: Celebrate!

On Wednesday!  Being in the middle of the week always makes it weird, but we made it work!  Of course, we went down to Cape Cod :)  But to accommodate Marks work and going into Boston for the night, we went down on Saturday until Sunday night, then went down again on Tuesday until Thursday.  What a way to break up a holiday, huh? Oh well, we still had fun. 

The first time down, we spent the day on the beach, went out for ice cream, then walked over to a playground to play and watch the sunset.  Cam always seems to find new "best friends" when he's at playgrounds that he'll talk about for the next week.  He's differently not a shy boy and will run up to any kid and ask them their name and how old they are.  It's kinda cute! 

Pictures? Oh of course:

Lounging around with Papa

 Waking up!  Bed head!

The second time down, my cousin Danielle and her boyfriend Connor were down, too.  And let me just say, Cameron is in love with this kid!  He wouldn't leave his side, until Ryan got there that is!  The first night down, my brother, Kevin, had a bunch of his friends down and they lit off fireworks from the beach.  It has become a sort of tradition for the neighborhood.  My dad and another family buy the fireworks and everyone else in the association come down to watch them being lit off.  They do a really good job.  This year, for the first time, Cameron loved them!  In the past, he has been scared of them, but this year he was super excited to watch them.  I swear it was because Connor was there and Cam had to be a tough guy in front of him!  Avery slept through them!  On the beach, 100 feet from the noise.  Silly girl.

The next day, Tina, Mike and Ryan came down and we spent the day at the beach, well until Avery threw up. On the beach!  Oops.  She ended up with a double ear infection, but that's a boring story that we don't need to get into!  She was fine after that, so we hung around, had dinner, played, and had a family ice cream party at the dock.  We were planing to going to our friends beach to see their fireworks that night, but the kids fell asleep the second they got in the car, so we decided to just pack up and go home that night.  Mark had to work in the morning anyway, so it made sense.  

 Awful lighting, but you get it

 Besties from birth!

So that was our Fourth of July!  The whole week of celebrating!  Maybe next year we'll get to a parade or an actual town celebration, but at the kids ages, they have more fun just hanging out at the beach and the house. Until next year!!
