Memorial Day Cape Cod Extravaganza

We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend hanging out with friends at our Cape house. On Sunday, we were joined by Lisa, Mike and Lily, Starvish and Shelley and the Wasik clan (Stef, Brian, Miller and Anna). We managed to get all the troops to the beach for a 2 hour stay and the weather was perfect and even warm enough for most people to swim. I think it was a little hot for Finn on the beach but he liked his tent and even took a 45 min nap in it. After the beach we headed back to the house where Finn had a blast in his own pool and Miller (age 3) supplied an abundance of beach toys for Finn to play with in the pool. We finished the day off with an amazing meal of ribs, clams, mussels, cod, veggies and lisa's yummy strawberry dessert. As you can see from the picture we even managed to have a sit down dinner with all the kids.

On Saturday, it was a little cooler, but Mike, Lisa, and Lily joined us for a brisk walk to the beach and Finn experienced putting his feet in the sand for the first time. He absolutely loved it! We were not surprised when after only a few minutes of feeling the sand with his fingers, he proceeded to try to eat it. I was hoping that after one taste, he would spit it out and lose interest but not our little Finn. He didn't seem to mind it at all and kept trying to eat more. Isn't there protein in sand? It should make for an interesting summer but we can't wait for many more trips to the beach!

Oh and as you can see from the pictures, Finn and Lily took their first bath together. They loved it!
