Cape Cod 2

On Mom's favorite day we rented bikes and rode along the Shining Sea Bikeway to Woods Hole.
It was so beautiful! But, I got a little bored sometimes. If you look closely in this picture, you can tell that I am not wearing my happy face.
Our group suffered minor injuries during the Tour, with Kalyn's scraped knee being the worst. Poor Kalyn! The pebbles and sand on the side of the trail caught her tire and caused a little spill, but she was so tough- she got right back on the bike!
The trek was worth it when we got to Woods Hole and stood on the coast, admiring the boats and sea.
We also took a snack break. I never liked clementines before, but if Kalyn was having one, then I wanted two! And I only wanted Kalyn to peel them for me.
Our other favorite snacks were cupcakes from the best bakery in the world.
Mom said Aunt Julie spent a quarter of her annual budget on cupcakes this week. And, Kalyn set a record for Most Peanut Butter Cupcakes Eaten On Vacation. Ever. Yum!
One day we took a trip on a sail boat. It was huge, and one of my favorites that Mom and I visited in the mornings on our walks.
It was very fun at first, but 3 hours on a boat may not be the best idea for a 2 year old... especially when the batteries to your portable DVD player die right in the middle of Dora and The Puppies.
Still, it was fun to look for dolphins, sharks, and whales. I didn't see any, but they kept telling me to look. We sailed over to Martha's Vineyard, and Dad taught me to say it properly, "Mah-tha's Vin-yahd".
Back on dry land, I loved playing with my new dollhouse! I even decorated it with pebbles and flowers from the yard. Funny, most of the occupants of my house kept falling out of the windows or door to their death on the patio.
The best part of the week was being able to relax. The grown-ups spent time in the man cave,
while Kalyn and I focused on creative ventures.P.S. We have just received word that Big Mike was crushed over the fact that Kalyn was named MVP over him. So, we offer this photo as evidence that his fun-ness made it a very close contest!

Ha, thanks for throwing Big Mike a bone, Kelsey. Your blog is terrific. Who knew you could write so well at age 2!
