Weekend Recap: Happy Camper Edition

The most highly-anticipated weekend of the summer has arrived and we dropped all three kids off at Sky Ranch on Sunday. Last week was full of excitement and prep and all the camp chatter which is my favorite. 

Cape Cod - Last Day

Friday morning started off a bit slower than anticipated thanks to our chartered fishing trip being cancelled due to the weather.  It was absolutely GORGEOUS out, but had been super windy and the captain we had hired to take us out fishing was concerned for our safety and that's really all I needed to hear. hahaha. It was a bummer as everyone (ESPECIALLY Luke and Mason) had been looking forward to it but there was nothing we could do about it and we were heading off of Cape Cod the next day so we couldn't reschedule.  If I was planning this trip again I'd probably book a fishing trip for one of the first days just in case it had to get rescheduled - live and learn!

Happy Friday, friends! First up on my list of FAVORITES is our favorite houseguest - Ruby ;) She hung with us a few days this week and we all just love her!

Amazon Lately

 Listen, y'all.  My Prime has been BLOWING up the past month or so.  Between picking up things for our trip, and then camp, and now starting to think about heading back to school it's been A LOT.  Here are a few fun finds from my recent orders ;)

I grabbed a second of these glass boxes to fill with polaroids from our trip to Boston and Cape Cod.  I love having them out on the coffee table and the boxes just make them feel special!

Cape Cod - Part 3

 On Thursday the plan was to get up early, drive over to the ferry and spend the morning and afternoon on Martha's Vineyard.  On Wednesday night when we were talking about it it felt like I may have been the only one excited about it (hahaha) and when I looked a little more closely at my plans it did feel like A LOT of work/travel to check out a cute little town, go see some cliffs, etc.  SOOOO we pivoted and it ended up being an awesome day - and I told Dave that he and I would check off Martha's Vineyard at a later date ;) 

We loaded up in the car and drove about an hour all the way up to the Highland Lighthouse.  It was cool to go check out the lower cape and was the only lighthouse I could find that you could actually go up into.

Weekend Recap: Red, White, and Blue Edition

Thursday night we found ourselves enjoying a really gorgeous night in Frisco for the Party in the USA 5K.  The boys ran this last year and it felt like the surface of the sun (even at 9 pm) so this was GLORIOUS!!!

 

Texas on my Mind

 Before I start back with my regularly scheduled content this week, I wanted to take today to acknowledge what's been going on in the Texas hill country this weekend because, honestly, it has really been all I've thought about since I first heard about the tragedy unfolding early Friday afternoon.

Cape Cod Pt 2

 On our first official morning in Cape Cod we started off our day slow with tea and muffins (amen) and then headed over to the Cape Cod Heritage Museum and Gardens. It was only like a 5 minute drive from the house as it backs up to the same pond the house we were staying in was on.

Cape Cod Part 1

 Tuesday morning while the rest of us were asleep Luke headed out to run to MIT.  I think it was about a mile and a half away and I know he had to cross the Charles river via some bridge - but it all happened before I was awake. When he'd asked the night before if we cared if he left early to go do a run I said I didn't mind as long as he took a picture ;)
