The Cape

We spent a week of our vacation out East in Orleans on Cape Cod. We had so much fun, that the time flew by. We went to the beach several times, played mini golf, went to the ZooQuarium, took a boat ride, rode a trolley, among other things. Skaket Beach was great for the kids. The beach takes two forms depending on the tides. At high tide the water is a good depth to splash and look for crabs. At low tide you can walk out half a mile through tidal pools. Of course the kids enjoyed playing in the sand the most.
Sadly while on the trip, we got news that Papa Gizmo fell off a ladder. He cut his lip and broke a rib, but is doing fine now.

Jack Jack

In case you are wondering, Jack is not being raised as a vegetarian. Jack took his first steps while visiting Grandma and Albie. He can only take a couple steps before falling, but he is learning. He has also learned several words such as: car, cracker, ice, hi, bear, blue bear, ball, daddy, mommy, Albie, uncle, up, pizza, this, thank you, please, cheers, more, book, and all done.

East Coast Vacation part I

We had a great time out East this year. The kids had a lot of fun with Grandma, Albie, Chris and the many others who came to see the kids. It was great to see Jen and Lee for the first time since their wedding last year. We went on the carousel in Hartford. The kids had a great time at JumpZone.

Fun in Connecticut

Here are some pictures of our vacation in Connecticut.

Jack using his Walker and Caitlin finishes Gymnastics

Jack has begun to use his walker. He is getting much more proficient every day. He is cruising from furniture to furniture, but has not yet tried to stand or take a step without holding onto something. It wont be long thought.

Caitlin had her last day of gymnastics class for the spring. She had a lot of fun bouncing on the trampoline, hanging on the bars, and running through the obstacle courses. However, her favorite part seemed to be jumping into the foam pit.

Airplane Show

We went to an airshow this past weekend with Jami, Nick and Rowan. There was an old bomber that was great to see. You were only allowed in one plane; the rest were too small. However, the highlight of the day was Kim and Caitlin going on a helicopter ride. As the helicopter landed, Caitlin shouted, "Higher." Both mom and Caitlin enjoyed the ride.

On Jack Jack news, he is now able to pull himself up. He is beginning to take steps while holding on furniture.
