We've enjoyed 3 beautiful days in Cape Cod so far and are ready for a full week of fun, sun, and tons of ice cream. Katie likes the sand and the water but doesn't like the cool wind so much. With the skies mostly overcast and the temperatures around 70 degrees, we haven't had to use her shade tent much. She doesn't really like to be isolated in there anyway when there are so many people that could be playing with her instead. She's really been able to improve her skills with rolling while she's here. We'll put her on the carpet and watch her roll across the room. She's going to be a terror in our living room when we return.
Our trip got off to a late start. My last day of work ended later than I had hoped and then we got stuck in traffic on I-66 on the way to the farm to drop off Rusty. Most of the traffic was for a concert at Nissan Pavilion. We played Guess-the-Concert based on what the other drivers looked like. I guessed Poison but it was Def Leppard. I think I should get partial credit. We didn't start heading north until 9pm. We were making such good time and our little princess was sound asleep so we kept driving. We arrived in Naugatuck at 4:30am. I went right to sleep but unfortunately Katie was wide awake so Nancy stayed up with her. Luckily Nancy got some sleep when we resumed our trip to the Cape a few hours later. Sue and her mom were waiting for us when we arrived. We had a nice dinner at the Wee Packet and then went to bed early.
So far we've mostly hung out at the beach and in the room. The temperature hasn't gotten above 75 degrees and it's been very windy. As odd as it is to put on a sweatshirt to go to the beach, it's very refreshing... especially after suffocating in the swamp-like DC heat and humidity for the last few weeks.
Sara and her boys arrived on Monday. We spent the day eating Pringles and daring each other to go in to the water. We finally did but it took a lot of coaxing. The boys and I threw the football on the beach and practiced our spectacular diving catches. It's all fun and games until you have to wash the sand out of your hair.
Here are some photos of our vacation so far. Enjoy! I'll try to post more photos later in the week.

Great pics. Katie's really lighting up the camera with her smile. How about some action shots of these allegedly dazzling football catches? I'll believe it when I see it!
