Summer Time at The Cape

Since this past March, my parents have been planning their trip to Cape Cod and this past week we finally made it. Auntie Michelle and her family go all the time and invited us this year to join them. It was my very first family vacation trip and from the looks of our car, we looked like the Griswold's.

Auntie Michelle's sister Crystal along with Crystal's husband Eric (their kids: Peyton, Kendall and Anderson) and Eric's Mom,Jean, met us up at our house rental last Saturday afternoon. The week was packed with lots of excitement: Cape Cod chip factory, miniature golf at Pirates Cove, water balloon fights, kite flying, the endless candy stores and local ice cream shops and of course the wonderful beach! We went regularly to the beach and I loved it! Most of all, I enjoyed making new friends. Anderson and I were instant buddies while Peyton and Kendall take care of me and give me lots of candy and freezer pops.. yum! On our last day, the Maine crew, fixed us a traditional Maine feast (Lobster rolls, scallops, mussels, and fresh summer squash and home grown potatoes from Auntie Michelle's parents garden in Maine). Daddy ate so much that he almost went into a coma.

Here a few highlights of our adventure. Summer will be over before you know so enjoy it while you can. Next up.... fall apple picking... can't wait!

Love,
Emerson

Daddy couldn't keep up...lol.

It was soooo hot and humid that Auntie Michelle busted out the water balloon fight

Beach Bums

Hi Everyone, sorry it's been awhile since my last post but to tell you the truth not much has been going on in Emerson's world until this past weekend.

Mommy, Daddy and myself went to Daddy's cousin Will's wedding down in Wilimington, NC. Cousin Will married a very sweet and pretty girl by the name of Angela (I have more pictures of that event to share with you all later on). There was so many relatives on Daddy's side that we got to visit with like.... Paw Paw, Grandma Linda, my Great Aunt's Chris, Beverly & Peggy, my Great Unlce's Jerry, John, Tim, & Mel and tons of second cousins!

We had lots of fun and on the morning of the Wedding, we met up with our cousins Michael, Jill with their sons Jacob & Josh for some beach fun. This was my first time to the beach and man am I glad that Jacob and Josh showed me the ropes. We had a blast and even got to eat some sand.

Enjoy the videos below and I hope that they don't make you too sick... Mom was taping again. I think after these tapings, Daddy is officially taking over the filming :-).

Love,
Emerson
