Tours with Kate Part 2

After our trip through Vermont and New Hampshire we had a day at home to catch up on the washing etc then we headed out to Cape Cod.

First stop Plymouth Rock

Lexie has discovered cameras and absolutely loves taking pictures now - most of them are useless but shes actually gotten a few good shots.

After a quick stop in Plymouth we headed straight out to the tip of cape cod to the beach at Race Point.  Whilst it was a beautiful sunny day there was a freezing cold wind blowing.  That however did not stop us checking out the surf.  The kids (both big and small) had a great time.



Well until a mean little wave came and swept Lexie feet out from underneath her.

Still it didn't seem to phase her too much.  The only real problem was that the jumper she had on was the only one we had taken with her......so she spent the rest of the day wearing one of mine!

We then headed into Provincetown to find our hotel.  What a view.  Right on the beach looking back towards the center of town in one direction and along the cape in the other.




The last photo was actually taken by Lexie.

After a late lunch we headed to the beach out front of the hotel

The had a relaxing evening playing on the balcont watching the sunset

The next day we checked out the center of provincetown - much more crowded than I expected.

then slowly headed back along the cape - stopping at a couple of lighthouses.

Our next stop was Hyannis where we checked out the JFK Memorial

and played on the beach again.

Heres a few more of Lexies photos from the next couple of days

And a few randoms of the kids

Next adventure was up to Salem where we checked out some witchy stuff

And then into Cambridge were we did a tour of Harvard.  The guides (in straw hats in photo below) were harvard students and very fun but informative - definitely recomment this tour to anyone.

On Saturday the Millis Historical Society held a revolutionary wa reenactment just up the road from us at Oak Grove Farm.  We walked up to check it out.  It was fantastic.  Everything and everyone was authentic.  They staged a battle - the english won!  but I believe that the American were supposed to win the battle on Sunday.

 

Our final trip was back into Boston to checkk out the waterfront are and Beacon Hill.

And we're finally up to date.

Kate left yesterday and today I've spent going through photos.  And just today Josh has come out with his first real word (other than mum, dad, rahhr and wow)  He has said "Down" very distinctly at leat three times so far.  Go Josh....
