Cape Code long weekend

Our next door neighbours, K, Z, and their lovely daughters H and P invoted us over for a long weekend on the Cape. We fought the traffic on Friday and managed to get there around 2pm. After a yummy lunch we went to the "bay", where the ocean was calm with warm water, and I managed to take a swim while the kids played. Awesome. Yummy dinner, icecream, kids asleep, a game of Quidler - perfect evening! Saturday I was up early for my long run, and met everyone later for another day at the beach, this time at a site with huge waves. The kids and I had a ball, jumping in the water, running away from the waves, splashing and making a big tunnel. Pepe refused to wear his suit, and so the girls took their off, which made for some cute naked kids playing on the beach. No pics though:) Since we had such a great time, we decided to stay another night, and left Sunday after breakfast. Such a great trip.


Pepe was in his element during the trip. He had a hard time falling asleep alone in a new room, but once I told him that we would see lighthouses when he wakes up, if he sleeps well, he immediately obliged. He was up for a brief moment at 6am stating "I had the best sleep, now can we go see lighthouses?", and thankfuly fell asleep again. We did go see 2 lighthouses though, which was v nice. It was interesting to see Pepe playing with the girls. He adopted some of their playing style (since all his trains, tracks, etc were at home), and played doctor, and dentist - v cute.


I forgot to mention that on thursday we visited uncle Radu to celebrate his 72nd birthday! So good to see him and enjoy his company and a great meal. We also saw cousin Bianca who grew up so much!. Here is a picture of the cousins:
