Happy 7th Birthday Mila!

Thursday was Mila's 7th birthday.  We celebrated with Grandma and Papa J and Grandma and Papa D. Mila was really excited to open her gifts.

On Friday we went to the cape with Grandma and Papa J for the weekend.  We went to the inflatable park, beach, mini-golfing and ice cream.

One hot weekend!

This weekend was in the 90s on the cape!  It was so hot that we spent most of the weekend near or in the water.  On Saturday we went for a long walk on the beach and then played in the ocean.  Elan has been enjoying reading Harry Potter so he sat by the water, under an umbrella, and read a few chapters.  It was so hot in the house we decided to go out to dinner just to be in air conditioning.

 

On Sunday it was just as hot so we spent the day at the water-park before heading back to Concord to our air conditioned house.

Another great beach weekend!

We had another weekend of perfect weather!  We played on the beach, Mila successfully completed the monkey-bar challenge at the inflatable park and got a stamp (her goal was to complete the challenge before she turned 7!  It was pretty impressive...everyone was cheering for her).  Grandma and Papa D were able to join us for our Sunday beach day.

Cape vacation week!

On Monday we took the kids golfing...real golfing...for the first time.  We played 9 holes and they both had a blast!  We ended Monday night celebrating a great day with a fire-pit and marshmallows.

On Tuesday we had a water fight in the yard, went on a 10 mile bike ride, stopped at a brewery to play some video games and then cooled off with another water fight.

On Wednesday we had a long day at the beach! 

Thursday, the 4th of July, we had a very busy day! We started out the day going to a parade.  Then it was off to golf to play 18 holes!  Of course, we ended the day with a fire pit and fireworks.

On Friday, we went on a 15 mile bike ride!  We stopped half way for some ice cream.  For dinner, we were a little sick of burgers and hotdogs..so we grilled chicken strips and bagel bites.  

On Saturday, we had another great day at the beach topped off with ice cream.

On Sunday we packed up early and came back to Concord to go to a party to watch the US women's soccer team win the world cup!
