We had a GREAT family vacation. This summer, we went to Harwichport, MA. It is on Cape Cod (or the Cape as the locals call it). Our great friend, Sayra, let us stay in one of their family homes so we could enjoy the beach, good weather and a little relaxation before Mommy has to return to work.
Natalie had fun on our vacation. She was happy hanging out in her boppy pillow and watching everyone. We did a lot of tummy time, eating, stretching and smiling.
Clive enjoyed having a little change in scenery. As you know, having Derby with us on vacations is always nice. While we were hanging out at our Harwichport house, we spent quality time with Derby and took nice walks in the cranberry bogs.
The weather was perfect and we were able to go to the beach every day! Natalie enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine with us, too!
When we weren't at the beach, we spent some time exploring...one of our favorite spots was downtown Chatham. We were able to visit shops, eat snacks at local restaurants and play at a great park!
Daddy loves to swim in the ocean and would bring me with him to practice my swimming. I loved every second of it!
One of the best parts of our vacation was having our awesome babysitter, Kailene, stay with us. She loves the beach and we had so much fun playing in the sand, singing and splashing in the ocean!
This summer, Mommy & Daddy started to help me potty train. Since we were spending a lot of time in our swim suits, Mommy said I could start practicing at the beach. Someday, I will have to discuss with Mommy why she decided to take these embarrassing pictures. Mommy will remind me how cute I was no matter WHAT I was wearing, even if it meant NOTHING!
One day, we spent a slightly windy day at the beach so we could have dinner there and watch some of the sunset. That was really fun!
In the mornings, Daddy and I would go for a walk in the Cranberry Bogs. The house we were staying at, had them right in the backyard. I can't believe this is where cranberries used to grow! One time, we saw a SNAKE! Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NONNIE! Nonnie came to visit us while we were on vacation! We have so much fun with Nonnie. Nonnie loves the beach, swimming, shopping and doing all the fun things we like to do. It was really fun spending quality time with her.
We spent an afternoon at the Chatham Coast Guard Beach. We enjoyed the views and spending time walking around and seeing the Cape Cod sights. The Lighthouse here is really cool!
Nonnie had fun playing with me at the beach!
Natalie enjoyed anything that we did! She still loves to be swaddled up, so when she wasn't sleeping, we let her enjoy comfy clothes and the new scenery. Natalie slept great right next to Mommy, too! Daddy keeps reminding Mommy that eventually she will have to sleep in her own bed, but for now, they are both enjoying being snuggle buddies.
One of the FIRSTS we had on vacation, was Clive's first ice cream. We eat pretty healthy and thought it was finally time for Clive to enjoy a little summer treat. He chose Strawberry which he was very excited by and loved every last lick!
Spending quality time with Mommy is always fun. While Mommy isn't get a lot of sleep right now, she still is smiling and is happy to enjoy quality time together. I don't think that smile tells you anything different! We love you, Mommy!
Thank you, Harwichport! We had such an amazing time. We look forward to seeing you again!
Love,
Clive
