Cape Cod

Skipped getting capitol pictures in Massachusetts as the idea of driving in downtown Boston at mid-day on the Friday before a holiday held no appeal. Headed on down to Mashpee, Cape Cod. Eric, Tanya, Mackenzie and Mason were vacationing there with Tanya’s dad, sister and brother and their families. Her brother, Chris, and sister, Cheryl, are now in the same medical practice there. Stayed over the Labor Day weekend and took in the glass museum at Sandwich, seafood meals in Provincetown and Sandwich, poking about in Hyannis and Hyannisport, a half day trip to Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard, and a nice visit with Jane’s cousin Susan.

We hadn’t seen Mackenzie (27 months) and Mason (6 months) since May so were delighted to have the time with them. They grow so fast and are so much fun! Went to a little Zooquarium which had some aquatic and domestic animals. It was fun to watch Mackenzie go up to the areas of each animal and talk them with the sounds she knew they should make. She keeps us on our toes with the connections she is able to make from her observations. Her speech is very clear, and like her “Nanabug”, there is no shortage of it. The Phoenix Four went from Cape Cod to Ottawa to see Tara and Greg. Pictures here.
