Jenna HAD to exercise in the hotel gym.  She exercised each day of our stay until the security guard kicked her and the rest of us out. 

Pretty Amelia waiting for our next party.

Ahhhh.. Jenna waited a whole year to have another root beer out of the bottle at Ken's Steakhouse.

Per usual you can find Drew at his happiest eating.  He loved the tiramisu.

   Party Goers /Cousins and more!

Ava loves salad dressing.  Jenna couldn't wait to show Ava this display case of Ken's Salad Dressings.

 Pauline, Grandpa & Uncle Bob (his 90th birthday party)

Partying

Our cousins posing.

The kids loved the tattoos at the party.  Here is what Amelia worked on during the entire party.

Can you see this incredible scenery behind Ava?  She's not having it.  This is the beautiful spot we ate lunch at in Hyannis Port.  A little spaghetti from the seafood restaurant cheered up this girl.

These two were happy - sort of.

Yes. That's a lobster BLT.  Yes it was delicious.

This is what the beach looks like in Cape Cod.

Another view of the beach.

This was exciting for us.  We drove home and wound up on the George Washington Bridge.  We were very excited to see New York City.  We almost took a detour through downtown Manhattan.

The GW bridge before we got on it.

Camp!

Language camp also started yesterday!
