Cape Cod Summer Vacation!

We had such a fun weekend, just the four of us, in Cape Cod a few weeks ago! It was a busy, fun filled week and the kids were great! We all probably needed a break from each other by the time the week was over, but all went well while we were there! The kids LOVE LOVE LOVE the beach and had a blast playing in the water, making sand "castles" and drip castles, and their fave thing to do (besides eat ice cream almost every day) was collect hermit crabs!  Brayden liked it so much that he kept dumping his bucket of them when he couldn't find anymore, just so he could have more to collect. Tucker was our go-to-guy for the big hermits, and Max caught a bunch of the bigger sand crabs. The kids liked it when he put a bunch of them in a small bucket and they fought and tried to jump out. Here's WAY too many pictures of our trip:)

on our first day there...we headed to the beach after naps to find hermit crabs and play, and watch the sun set





I think Brayden could have survived on ice cream alone for the week!

the fact that he LOVES the water makes it that much more ironic that he was born during one of the biggest hurricanes in our area's history!

crabs!



 we took a break from the beach one day to go on a seal watch! We saw a ton!!


love this guy!


hugs!

walking down the "secret" path by our house to a secret beach for some low tide tidal flat action...and lots of CRABS!

the flats literally go out for a mile at least at low tide!




our awesome house had a fire pit...if we didn't get ice cream, we made S'mores!



 We had one gloomy day so we hung with my friend Lauren and her daughter Willa-pancakes for breakfast and a trip to the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History.



 We hung with Willa, Lauren and dam at their beach one town over for the day too! Their house is super code to the beach so we napped Brayden there-I actually got to spend the WHOLE day at the beach! We'd been hanging until about 2 and then having to head back so the kids could nap, so this was a gift!




We spent our last day at our favorite beach in Brewster, Crosby Landing.


our one and only family picture from the week:)

enjoying Sundae School!


 our final night was filled with special flowers and s'mores


love these two!


Good Night, Cape Cod. Until Next Year!!
