These past three days, we had the opportunity to enjoy Cape Cod once again. And we definitely enjoyed it.

1. Went to Land Ho! for lunch....always a favorite

2. Visited Chatham's Light House and beach with shark warning flag (borrowed from South African ones...a sample is below) . It is the first time I have ever seen that. How weird.

3. We toured Chatham, which Bri and Kiff liked.

4. Went to Nut Job 2....it was fun

5. Visited mom three times

6. Went to Go Karts in Harwich for the first time since I has about 8....what a blast!

7. Had breakfast at Bonnatts. That was fun.

8. Went to Mill Store and Yankee Doodle Shop

9. Got ice cream at School House and Holiday Hill

10. Went to Harwich Art Museum

The One With Grease is the Word

Today, Bri and Kiff did something they have never done before.

They were part of a play. During the past week, the attended a summer camp in Middleton and worked on a shortened version of the play Grease.

It was a blast.


Hard to believe, they were given a few lines to memorize on Monday and by today (Friday) they were able to put on their first stage performance.

It was pretty impressive. They both had solos in different parts. Bri's voice was actually solid and Kiff spoke up, flashing smiles throughout.

Bri liked it and would like to do it again. Kiff loved it and even mentioned he would miss doing it....experiencing his first post-performance let down. The acting bug has definitely bit him...and Bri as well.

Here's to many more performances.

GO GREASED LIGHTNING

The One With The Championship

Bri had an amazing week last week. Her team was in the playoffs.

And what a run it was.

Her first game was on Wednesday. Her team won that game 20-5, moving onto the championship game. Bri got two hits in the game and made a put out. She also played a mean catcher.

In the championship game, Bri played catcher again. She got a walk and made solid plays in the field and behind the plate.

But the nice part was, her team won the championship!!!

Bri became the first "champion" in our family unit.

Congrats B

The One With a Happy Father's Day

• We went out for breakfast

Overall, a beautiful day.

And a happy father's day to you, Dad. I love you...and I miss you everyday!
