Cape Cod, v2011.5

On the seventh day, the baby stayed close to mommy.


Leigh tried her hand at making a Navy Seal "sugar cookie".
On the eighth day, we were back at home, exploring our sandy-floored basement.

Cape Cod v.2011.4

Life on the Cape continues. Mornings are dominated by playtime.
Playing with the incredibly unbreakable, soft-landing ball.
Looking sinister.
Mess-making.
Underwear-wearing is an all-day affair.
Some days the beach is foggy.This leaves the Hawk perplexed.While girls nap, boys hunt for crabs.While girls nap, mama relaxes.Even in the afternoon the beach can be cold. We call this Leigh's "FDR at Yalta" look.Late afternoon story time with Grandma Steffy.

Cape Cod v.2011.3

Mornings on vacation are tough. Some people take a while to get going.
Others are quick starters.
The girls on a windy walk to the Edward Hopper house (seen at the bottom of this post).Grandpa Lee reading to DHawk and Leigh.

Cape Cod v.2011.2

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

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.
