Little Critter Cruise

A weekend of sun meant that we could get away to the "little house" as Arianna likes to call it. Friday night we packed up and headed to Cape Cod for a little family time. Saturday we took the kids to Provincetown and walked around the crowded streets. The smell of the salt air and fried foods was really nostalgic of the beach days I had as a child. In search of something to do, we finally came across the opportunity to board a critter cruise that was only an hour and 15 minutes and was a great little trip around the harbor as well as a marine biology lesson for the young ones. Arianna was so excited to be on the boat but Rylan decided to have a two year old moment and proceed to have a major meltdown as we departed for the sea. I spent most of the time trying to hold Rylan down from climbing on the chairs and trying to throw himself overboard while screaming at the top of his tiny lungs... but... sigh... it was well worth the time and energy as Arianna loved every moment of the cruise. Thank god it was only a little over an hour as I may have thrown myself overboard.

4th of July PARTY!

Yes, Auntie Nat's yearly 4th of July party came and went without a hitch. The weather was amazing, the food was great, the drinks were flowing and best of all.... no 911 calls were made this year!

Rylan wants that candy!

Cousin Weekend

What better way to spend the lazy days of summer than with family. It is so wonderful to have everyone get together, especially the little cousins. With the weather being so dreary lately, everyone jumps at the chance to get out and about as soon as the sun makes an appearance. This past 4th of July weekend was no exception. My head is spinning with the amount of activities we all had participated in. Here are a few shots from the night of the fireworks to the cousins just playing around.
