Spending a Couple Days in a Windmill

Photo-A-Day #4458

For the next couple of days we are staying at my uncle’s parent’s place. The house is a windmill located in a quiet neighborhood in Chatham, MA. The kids were so excited to stay there. There had been arms on the place but they were not there when we were. I remember them as a kids when I used to play with my older cousin.

We arrived, unpacked and explored. There was a little play area down the street with a climbing structure. Both kids were so excited to play on it. They both really enjoy climbing. I climbed a little but it was too small for me. The holes where you put your feet and hands were way too small and really hurt my feet. The kids did get a kick out of me trying, though.

We enjoy a quiet lunch on the patio. The neighborhood was so quiet even with a large truck digging a new septic next door. It is still better than sitting in my own back yard listening to my neighbors.

My Aunt Cindy came over in the afternoon and we all went out for dinner at Kreme and Kone. They do a real nice Fisherman’s platter which I split with Allison.

Before heading back to the Windmill for the night we stopped at my grandparent’s house to visit with them. We had a nice visit and then it was time to turn in. The kids slept on the second floor of the windmill, Andrew wanted to sleep on the 3rd but we figured that there was no need to dirty another set of sheets so they shared a bed with a pillow wall between them. Allison and I relaxed outside for a bit before the bugs got too bad and then a little while longer inside. There was no TV or cable and we turned in early happy for the Cape Cod night air to sleep.

Special New PUSS IN BOOK Interactive Episode Premiering on Netflix #StreamTeam

Puss in Book Overview

When Puss in Book was released on June 20th we tried it out as a family. We did the show two ways. First we watched it all the way through on Netflix but not on a computer, on our TV. This way we were unable to make any choices to the story. It went along the existing track. The story was entertaining but we wanted more. We wanted to have control of the story.

So, the second time around we watched the show on the Netflix app on the iPad. We had a fun time interacting with the story. The kids loved it so much that they went and started watching the Puss in Boots series, something that they had not previously shown much interest in watching. They love the Shrek movies but that did not make them jump over to this series. I’d love to see more of these interactive type programs. The official description of this program and trailer is below.
