Holy Hot Day, Batman

Aidan enjoys the sprinkler on a hot day--and Vivienne giggles at him trying to attack the water with a purple rake!

Picnic Party at Aunt Cathy's House

Aunt Patty and Aidan after a big cupcake with LOTS O Frosting!


Mmmm, Vivienne's first nibbles of watermelon...maybe it should have been a strawberry to match!


Aidan and Uncle "B" noshing on some fruit.


Oh, yes, I like frosting.


Beautiful Alicia and her pretty Mommy Beth.


Handsome Andy hanging with fam.


Aidan showing off his cupcake frosting face with Aunt Candy. I think maybe he had too many cupcakes!

Cape Cod, July 4-July 11

We are well packed and heading out for a big old Grizwold vacation!




Aidan and Darlene testing the water on the first day.


Enjoying low tide on First Beach. All those dots are people way the heck out in the ocean...seriously.




Yikes, lobster races...



Aidan getting brave...heading toward the ocean.

Hey, look what I found...a snakey seaweed tail!

We found a turtle in the backyard...Darlene was cool with it, but Aidan kept his distance.


That's right, Mommy said "sure" when I saw the ice cream truck at the beach. My pop was melting fast...but it sure tasted good. Vivi (and Mommy) got a bomb pop!

There's all kinds of treasures on the beach.

Enjoying a day at the beach.


Come on, it's time to play on the beach.




Hmmm, what is this I'm feeling?


DD and Aidan boogie boarding!

Beach Baby!

Lifeguard off duty.

DD introducing Vivienne to the water and smoochin' up on her when the water introduction wasn't well received.




Whatcha two looking at?




Rebel Dune Walkers


Wicked cool balancing rock art at the Coast Guard Beach.

Ahhh, this sand thing is new for me, but I sure like it.





Sometimes I just get so tired and need a nap that I tiiiimmmmmbbbbeeerrrr right on over and snooze it up!


Yep, that's right. There was an outside shower at the "beach house." Mommy and Johnny used it every day (well, not together) and I used it a few time with Daddy.
