Had to take advantage of the nice weather. Beach!!!

Seaweed foot! Sammy played in the surf all day.

Gabby was all about the sand and the shells.

On our way to pick up pizza after a long day at the beach. Sammy fell asleep shortly after leaving the parking lot. Success!

Shopping in Hyannis then Dinner at Knack’s – 2023 Cape Cod Summer Vacation

This was our first time stayin’ in Hyannis, so we wanted to walk the strip and check out the stores!

Stoppin’ to enjoy the candy we got from the Kandy Korner. (Candy in the pictures. lol)

Sammy got to pick out one new car. (Ended up choosing a Police car.)

Needed a tip from Mommy on how to turn the lights on. haha

Stopped on The Knack for supper. Soooo good! Saved it for future trips!

Summer Sports for Sam!

First Day! (2023.07.08)

When asked by his sister during lunch, โ€œWhat did you play, Sam?โ€, he replied, โ€œBalls!โ€. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Missed a week due to Cape vacation another because coach was sick. Finally got back out to play! Hereโ€™s 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)

Happy 4th of July!

The crew all together at the Burlington 4th of July Parade!

Even though it was raining, we still enjoyed our annual tradition with the Shannon Family.

It was a rainy day so we made sโ€™more bites since we couldnโ€™t have a fire.

Happy Independence Day!!

Gabby’s First ‘Learn to Skate’!

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. ๐Ÿ™‚

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. ๐Ÿ˜›

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 โ€ฆ <3

Super excited!

Fourth session! (2023.07.23)

Everyone wanted to hold mommyโ€™s hand!

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

Fifth session! (2023.07.30)

Sammy came again!

Sheโ€™s getting even better! Sheโ€™s 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. ๐Ÿ™

She got a ribbon!

Jessica and Aunt Julia visit!!

Thank you for the awesome rocket toy and Harry Potter book (not pictured), Aunt Julia!

Sam obviously loved it ๐Ÿ˜‚

Frozen custard at Abbotts! Yum!

For their last night we had a campfire, which means sโ€™mores! Thank you both for visiting, we loved having you!
