Visit to Grandma's!

We spent a wonderful long weekend at the Cape with Grandma and Dryden. I got a stomach bug, so I was out of commission for one whole day and feeling lousy for most of the others, but Grandma and Daddy made sure that Evan and Emma had a blast. There aren't a lot of pictures because I'm usually the one taking them, but here's what we've got!

We visited the Natural History Museum, the beach, Nauset Lighthouse, the windmill, and made a few trips to the "train store" (Snow's), of course.

Evan and Emma had lots of fun at the Natural History Museum. There is a small aquarium section that Emma enjoyed. (She liked the turtle the best.) There was also a beehive behind glass and a huge viewing window where we saw lots of birds and even a fox! But I think they both enjoyed the gift shop the best.

In the shark cage!
(Dad says, "We need one of these at home!")

The beehive

Grandma's tomatoes and green beans were growing like crazy. Evan had a ball picking them off the vines.

A walk on the "magic path"

"Come on in! The water's beautiful!"

I think Emma prefers the sand to the water

Evan and Grandma walking out to the "islands"

"We made it!

Awww! Daddy and his little girl!

Waiting in line for the lighthouse. Evan had to be very patient since only a few people can go up at a time

We weren't planning on going to the beach, but it was right there so we made a "quick" stop to look at the water

Uh oh, Evan and Grandma got away!

And they're on the beach...

Evan loved the waves! Grandma had to hang on tight so that he wouldn't go out into them too far

Watching the seals go by

And the visit wouldn't be complete without a trip to the lifeguard chair!
