Cape Cod

Last month we went on a trip to Cape Cod. This is one of my absolute favorite places in the world to vacation. We were fortunate enough to have a direct flight into Boston. We were hoping since the flight was during Cooper's nap time that he would sleep most of the way. Well, he only slept 30 minutes, but he was very well behaved for most of the flight.

He loved to look out the window, push all the buttons on the TV in the seat in front, and talk to the people in the seats around us.

My Aunt Carol and Uncle Peter live in East Sandwich and are fortunate enough to enjoy this magnificent place every day. A huge thank you to them for hosting us at their house for over a week.

The hot humid air wasn't too difficult to deal with when we sat on the porch and enjoyed the cool breeze.




I could definitely be a porch person with a house like this!

They have a huge front yard that makes a great place to play baseball.

This year they decided to get a pool. Even though they live walking distance to the beach, having a pool in their backyard was a nice luxury. Cooper enjoyed it very much.



Almost every night we enjoyed marshmallows by the fire. S more's with Reese's peanut butter cups YUM!


Cooper had his first experience with lobsters. He wasn't quite sure what to think of them while they were alive but once they were cooked he loved to look, touch, and even had a little taste.


A few of my family members went on a whale watch. This is one of the whales they saw.


Cooper met his cousins Griffin and Cameron for the first time. It was an instant friendship.


On Saturday, we had a reunion with almost all of my dad's family. It was fun to see everyone.

Here are a few of Cooper's favorite activities while we were in Cape Cod:

Splashing in the waves at the beach.


Taking a ride on Papi.


Eating Doritos and not sharing them with anyone!


Blowing bubbles.


Playing the ladder game.


Playing in the cars pushing all the buttons.


Playing baseball.


Swinging in the hammock with all the boys was fun.


Eating popsicles was always a treat. Mom of course, was afraid his clothes would get too messy, which is why he's only in his diaper. He actually did really well



And how could we forget about the stairs. I don't think he ever got tired of walking up and down.



Cooper's absolute favorite thing to do was open and close the garage doors.

A big thank you to Auntie Carol and Uncle Peter for hosting all of us for the week. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to do it again.
