Cape Cod v.2011.3

Mornings on vacation are tough. Some people take a while to get going.
Others are quick starters.

These guys take their beach seriously. It was a cold day at the beach. The sun was warm.
Everybody was happy.

Cape Cod v.2011.1

Lots of love from us to you, from here on windy Cape Cod.
Where are the crabs, Danny?
Hanako doesn't know, either.Danny still doesn't know.Over der!
Windy hair.Windy face.Hko showed off her varying facial expressions.
While Leigh, having foregone a nap, fell asleep while she was eating. Ridiculous.

Danny goes on vacation

We have a relative paucity of photos of Danny and his friend Jack because, frankly, they were off on their own playing nicely the whole weekend, or moving too quickly to be captured by camera.

Leigh goes on vacation

Slow mornings.
Followed by extended pool time. These people take their pool time seriously.And not so seriously.
I spent about 90 minutes repeatedly detaching the claws of this screaming, hyperventilating, trying-to-drown-herself child from my flesh. And then she became a water baby.
A quietly contemplating watery baby.A psyching-herself-up water baby.A jumping-in water baby.A tempting-fate water baby.
A proud water baby."I want to go swimming." For a girl who doesn't use full sentences, that is a big one.

Hanako goes on vacation

We all had a nice weekend away with a family from Danny's preschool.
It didn't hurt that our rental had air conditioning while our solar oven back in Guilford was roasting!

Sunday with Mom

DadKV had to work again today. Since we were just hanging at home, I decided to get the real camera out and do some documentation. Here goes.

Hanako spent the morning reading books, cruising, and being entertained by her siblings.




Danny enjoyed some early lego time, along with his morning coffee.

Leigh read books and hammed it up for the camera.

As did Danny.

Then there was a trip to Stop and Shop. And naps. During the latter, Danny got his guys out and got slimy.

A large chunk of the afternoon was spent in the yard but I didn't have any free hands to bring the camera out. Literally. Maybe next time.
