Whale Watching

Uncle Ryan came out from Michigan to visit so we all drove down to the cape on Tuesday.  It was cloudy and windy so we didn't spent that much time at the beach.

On Wednesday we decided to go whale watching.  Everyone had a blast and we got to see a ton of whales.

On Thursday I had to fly to DC for a meeting but the cape had perfect weather.  Everyone spent the day at the beach and toasted marshmallows at night.



Long cape weekend

This weekend I got to take the kids down on Saturday while Mat went fishing.  We started off the weekend by going to the inflatable park.  The kids had a blast and were so excited to finally return.  It was such a nice day that we also decided to go to the beach for a little bit before dinner.

Mat drove down to the cape on Sunday morning.  We worked on the yard for bit and then went back to the inflatable park to do some more rides.  And, of course, have some slushy's.

On Monday we spent the morning at the beach and then took a walk along the canal before driving back home.  Luckily we don't have to be gone for that long because we will all go back to the cape when Uncle Ryan comes tomorrow for the week. 

Elan's last day of school

Today Elan finished Kindergarten. He made a lot of new friends and finished off the year really well.  He is looking forward to first grade in the fall!

Elan's first Triathlon

Saturday was Elan's first Triathlon.  The 5 and 6 year old age group did a 25 meter swim then 1/4 mile run.  Next year he will get to do the bike. He was nervous just before the race and very quiet, which isn't normal for Elan.  But he did great.  After the race we played at the playground.

After the race we went to Riverfest.  The kids got to watch a snake show and Mila got to hold a snake.  Then we went fishing and Elan caught a fish.

After we got home we decided to ride our bikes to get ice-cream. Then played outside until it started to get dark.  It as a great day.

Sunday was Father's Day.  We started out the morning playing in the field near our house.  Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa D's house for swimming and dinner.

Willard Carnival

This was the last weekend of soccer for Elan and Mila.  Mila was enjoying doing all the drills during her practice while Elan enjoyed kicking the ball out of bounds so "no one could score".  While Elan was busy playing soccer, Mila was trying to climb trees.  Then we all went to play tennis.  It was a busy morning.

On Sunday we went to the Willard Carnival.  It is the annual fundraiser put on by the Willard PTA.  It is a huge event that they take the entire year to plan.  The kids had a blast!
