Day II of Vacation!

Saturday morning we woke up and headed out for a nice family breakfast at a local eatery. Colin was chatting it up with our neighbors at the table next to us and got a nice big surprise...


a Mickey Mouse pancake!!

Of course, the thing was gigantic for a little boy like Colin, but he did his best and ate as much as he could! After breakfast we spent a few hours at the Craigville beach, which we were told was the most popular beach in Hyannis. (I'm not actually sure it was IN Hyannis, but only 7 minutes from our hotel.) It was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun!


As per usual, Colin was very intent on eating the sand, so it was a challenge to let him play and explore without ingesting too much.

It is our tradition since our honeymoon to write our name in a heart, in the sand with the location of the beach and take a picture with it. Unfortunately, it was hard to see the writing in the sand, but Colin did the honors and took a picture to mark our vacation to Cape Cod.

It was a little breezy on the beach and although we had a cover-up for Colin, he was begging for something a little more. Daddy's t-shirt! Once he had it on, he thought it was the funniest thing! Once Colin started getting sleepy, we attempted to help him nap on the beach, but he is just too darn nosey to lay down and close his eyes. He needs to know what's going on at all times. After a few hours, we headed back to the hotel where Colin took a nice long nap and we relaxed prior to dinner. We headed out to another great restaurant, Spanky's Clam Shack! It had a beautiful view of the harbor!

I ordered a lobster despite my lack of skills in taking them apart, but fortunately it was a lazy man's lobster so most of it was cracked and ready to go. Colin was very interested in what I was eating and let me tell you, it was delicious!

After dinner, we took a stroll around the harbor and looked at all of the pretty scenery. It was exactly what I pictured Cape Cod to look like.

Later on, we had this grand idea to go and get some ice cream (which we all love) and play some miniature golf. You know that line from Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts says "Big mistake, huge mistake!" to the woman who originially turned her away from shopping in her store? Well, that's how we felt about the miniature golfing. We had this perfect plan where Colin would drink his bottle and then fall asleep as we walked the course and played. You know, a little Mommy and Daddy "night out".

However, the stroller had to be abandoned after the 1st hole because the course was not meant to push a stroller through it (which we learned a little bit late!)! So, we had to carry our immobile child through the course while we played. It meant, taking breaks on the bench...

and even on the green too...I love this picture because I truly think it was how Colin felt by the end...why did you take me here at my bed time! I swear Colin, we had good intentions since your so good at sleeping on the go!

Despite the fact it was the quickest game of mini golf I have ever played, we still had a great time together...
