So far behind

I'm so far behind in blogging!  Here are some pictures from our trip in September to Cape Cod with Mike and his family.  Catherine's Grandpa is still a lot bigger than her so he can pick her up and swing her around still!

Hiking at Fort Hill in Eastham.

 

Hiding from Mom.

Taking a tumble in the mud.

Heated pools are great!

Sitting in front of the fire after swimming.

A view of our condo.

Walking to Dormans to go boating.

Preparing the boats.

The 2nd boat preparing to shove off.

While they boated Steve and I hiked.

I took the kids to Chatham one day to  look for seals.

In the distance to the far right, you can see lots and lots of seals.

Hiking in Brewster.

Mud flats.

East Coast

For some reason when I entered these pictures, Blogger decided to add them out of order.  I'm too lazy to fix them so we will be jumping back and forth!  Steve & I kayaked on the Swan River in Dennisport (Cape Cod).  The wind was in our face and the tide was coming in behind us so it felt like we were sitting still.  Lucky for me Steve has man muscles and powered us through!

It was cranberry time!  Here is a bog that hadn't been harvested yet.  I wanted to jump in there and eat them all. I love cranberries!

This is the White Mountains in New Hampshire.  There were so  many beautiful waterfalls.

The colors were brilliant!

This is the Mt Washington Hotel.  While Steve went on a day hike, I went here and ate lunch.

  This was the view off of our balcony in Dennisport, Cape Cod.  It was beautiful.  Other than it being windy, the weather was perfect.

We went to Hershey, PA.  Now, I have been to Chocolate World many times, but have never stayed overnight in the town.  I'm ready to go back.  We went on a trolley tour of Milton Hershey's school and plant.  Very informative. It made me want to each a bunch of chocolate bars to support what they do with their money.

Cape Cod 2014

I have lots of photos from Cape Cod.  They are not in order.  So you must enjoy them as they are!  Steve and I drove from Michigan to Buffalo, NY.  We stopped at Niagra Falls for a quick peek.

Gussie trying out a new hairdo.

Hanging out waiting for our lunch.

It was an exciting game of putt putt.  I don't think any of us are ready for the pro's yet!

 We ate lunch at the Lobster Pot.  The kids loved looking at the live lobsters.

We went to the Dennisport Park and listened to Monica's new band.

The boys spent most of their time digging in the sand.

Mary's birthday party was at the beach.  The smile on her face never left that day.  She was so excited.

The wind kept blowing her candles out so we had her pretend to blow them out!

One of several beautiful sunsets.

Gussie finally getting up the courage to play in the water.

Michael kept his distance from the water most of the morning.  When no one was looking he went over and got on the paddle board by himself and took off!

On the other hand, Catherine loved it!  You couldn't keep her off of it.

Amber went out several times with the girls in the kayak.

The best part of celery?  The peanut butter!

Sunsets

It's the month of November.  Time to start thinking about all the things that we are thankful for.  Here's one of them.  Being able to stand on the beach looking out over the ocean and watching a beautiful  sunset.
