Now that we are settled in, I thought I should write an update. We still have many boxes to unpack, but for the most part the house is liveable, and has space. So that's very helpful! Every time a weekend arrives I have all of these unpack and organize plans, and then we end up going to Cape Cod instead.

Two weekends ago we went to Coast Guard Beach, it was amazing. We had to park in a parking lot away from the beach, and then take a beach shuttle to get there, it took about 5ish minutes. I didn't bring the camera or phone, but oh I wish I could have. The beach was amazing, it felt tropical. So family friendly, amazing waves, life guards, surfers... the works. We loved it. The kids had so much fun, and the ocean was super warm.

Google Coast Guard Beach to see photos, it was amazing.

Last weekend we went to Marconi Beach, it was incredible. Steep stairs leading down to the beach, and enormous waves. It actually wasn't very child friendly, since the waves were so big and the pull back at the shore was so strong, we basically had to keep the kids away from the water, or hold on to them tightly. They had fun digging in the sand etc instead. Neil went out a little into the water, but the waves were so big and strong I was scared to go in, and Neil mentioned that it was a little scary for him too. There was lots of surfing, lifeguards, and seals! A few seals hung around about 50 feet or so from the shore, swimming and checking out everyone. It was amazing. Beautiful beach, but more for adults.

Here are a few random photos from the last little while:

 Knox in Daddy's old hat.

 Eve giddy as can be after a long day at the beach.

 Tired and falling asleep at 5pm, it made for a very late night.

 Don't ask for a large drink at Burger King. When they say large, they mean LARGE.

 This is the first time she's let me do anything with her wild hair. She pulled them out about 2 minutes later, but it was cute while it lasted.

 Knox after our last Cape Cod weekend, sleeping with his eyes open. He was pretty exhausted.

 And to finish, here is Eve wearing Knox's shoes. The picture doesn't show scale very well, because these shoes are monstrous on her, but she walked around in them for a good half hour, proud as can be.

We plan on going back to Cape Cod again this weekend. I can't wait until I start calling it, "The Cape" but I'm just not there yet. We miss everyone, and look forward to having visitors soon!
