Finally...A beach vacation

Since David and I went on our honeymoon to Hawaii, we have been wanting to take another beach vacation.  It only took 7 years!  We rented a house in Cape Cod, invited the kids, and packed our bags. 

The first day was a little chilly, but we weren't letting that keep us away from the beach. In the picture below you can see all the lifeguard bothers and sisters keeping watch over the babies.
Edward had a great time playing in the sand.  At one point he was digging and singing to himself, "I'm digging for buried treasure" over and over to himself.  He's one of those kids that is constantly talking or singing to himself as he lives out adventures and stories while he's playing by himself.  It's really hilarious to sit and listen to him.

Ethan tried boogie boarding with his Dad, John.  He was a little wary of the waves at first, but then he got splashed by a big one and he was very wary of the waves.  He got a little more comfortable as the day went on.
 Edward defended us against Pirates, Grandpas, and other notorious villans.

Bryson did his first boogie boarding and got the hang of it quickly.  
We had to take refuge under the canopy from a brief rain shower and took the opportunity to eat lunch.




In the evening we took a chance to watch David's "Roof Top Briefing" that he filmed when he was in the Army in Berlin.  It was interesting to see a different side of him than Dad or businessman David.
