We decided to skip going out for dinner and, instead, get some extra time in the sand and sun! We grabbed a quick pizza from Palio’s Pizzeria and ate in the room!

Which left enough sunlight for a quick stop at the Cape Cod Creamery!



The nerdiest way to share photos, videos, and stories of our adventures….

We knew the weather wasn’t lookin’ fair for day two, but decided to try and make it work. We got rained out pretty quick. π

But … the pool was great and the kids loved it!



First Day! (2023.07.08)

When asked by his sister during lunch, βWhat did you play, Sam?β, he replied, βBalls!β. π


Missed a week due to Cape vacation another because coach was sick. Finally got back out to play! Hereβs some to catch us up to 2023.08.05.



Gabby even came to watch!



Hockey this week! (2023.08.12)
Lacrosse for the last week! (2023.08.19)
Just a fun little project that the kids have really enjoyed. π





First session! (2023.07.02)
She was all smiles when she saw the rink for the first time! I had to lead with this picture. π

On our way into the rink …


She loved the sticker for her helmet.

All laced up and ready to go!

They started by learning how to stand up on their feet, which made sense.


Almost made it the whole way across without a crash!

Caught a good tumble on video. π
Second session! (2023.07.09)
We also went for an adventure (no pictures, unfortunately) to find a ‘zambonie’, since Gabby had no idea what that was. The young man who drove it allow us to check it out!







Third session! (2023.07.16)
Her legs are always going β¦ <3
Super excited!





Fourth session! (2023.07.23)
Everyone wanted to hold mommyβs hand!


Sammy was good! He wanted to be on the ice too!


Fifth session! (2023.07.30)
Sammy came again!

Sheβs getting even better! Sheβs learning to use her inner edge, and even plow a little snow!







Sixth Session! (2023.08.06)


Another great week on the ice! (2023.08.13)




The last skate! She has come a longggg way. Great job Gabby! (2023.08.20)

We tried to play the claw game, but it was Out of Order, unfortunately. π



She got a ribbon!

Not great helpers, in this case β¦ ha


Sβmores!





We were finally able to check out LEGOland in Somerville, MA. There is an awesome, huge giraffe out front!

You start by building your own, little person which can then explore the area with you.


Then there’s a tree worth checking out right when you get upstairs.


With a “bungle bee” inside. HAHA

You can build a rocket ship, scan it, then fly it around on the screen!


Of course, you can just relax, kick back, and try to catch a duckling.


But the best part must be gazing at the cityscape, which includes lots of Boston scenes.






(In my opinion, the TD Garden scene needs more bumper-to-bumper traffic …)


There were also tons of places to build a car and race it down a track!



Unfortunately, the camera did catch some bloopers!

And some clown trying to lift various things …


A nice poem to start!
Then a song and dance!
And a craft to conclude. π

Thank you Daniela!




Gabby rinsing down all the pollen!

Happy Birthday to one of the OGβs.



Maybe itβs the pampering from Gabby that keeps him going. π
