Randomness on Cape Cod

A Night in Woods Hole
Photo-A-Day #4488

I titled this post Randomness on Cape Cod because I had some big plans for doing some vlogs while at the Cape. Then we had two days tht were so cold and dreary my energy was sapped and I already had a bunch of videos in the can so I was sloppy and lazy about taking any video. So this is actually a compilation of things that we did while on the Cape throughout the week. Did I get any footage of The Beach? Nope. National Sundae Day? Nope. I am slipping. Paul’s Pizza? Nope. Next week on the Cape I will be better.

Today was the opening picnic for families of the kids in the Children’s School of Science. this was the first one that I have been able to attend. It was nice. We took the rest of our Paul’s Pizza to eat cold at the picnic.
We learned that Andrew is not a fan of this way of eating pizza. He did, however, find plenty of brownies and watermelon to enjoy as his meal. The kids took turns on the zipline as I took slow motion video of them, that is pretty much all the video that was specifically from today. We are having fun but heading home tomorrow.

Family Staycation and an Unscheduled Polar Plunge

At The Cape

“Dad, This is the BEST car that you have ever reviewed!” Well, that pretty much sums up the experience the kids have been having with the Kia Sedona that we drove to the Cape today. I have the car for the week and we’re taking it on a few adventures on the Cape. Our drive down was good, Eva was quiet because she watched The LEGO Movie on the ride. Andrew was talking the whole time because he isn’t such a fan of the movie. When he doesn’t like a movie or a show he can be the biggest pest. It was something that was pretty frustrating. Then we arrived at the house and somehow the wind must have closed the door in such a way that the hock lock on the screen door got tripped and we had to figure out how to pop that lock open.

We had a great lunch at DJ’s Famous Wings. Allison and I split a rack of ribs and some wings while Eva had wings and Andrew a hot dog. They make some incredible wings there. They are so crispy and tasty. They also make hand cut curly fries and those are beyond amazing.

After lunch it was a trip to Walmart to get a few things including a few kites. I got a TMNT triangle shaped one, Eva got a beautiful sea turtle one and Andrew a Sponge Bob inflatable one. Skip the inflatables, they are terrible. The triangle shaped ones are still the best and easiest to fly. Although, the wind wasn’t that great, too much for my quad copter and not enough for a full kite fly.

While at the beach Andrew decided to walk into the water. First he was just in to his ankles and then got his knees and pants wet. Then he decided to flop into the water, jacket and all. It he wasn’t in too deep but it was too far out for him to go. In the moment it was kind of funny to me, but after the fact I realized just how scary it could have been. That kid needs a little more fear, he’s such a daredevil. Allison took him home to wash up and warm up. She also gave him a very long talking to about smart decisions and water.

After that we started working on a 1,000 piece puzzle of comic book covers. We’re still working on that.
