Cape cod

Starbucks happily skipping along the beach at Dennis, Cape Cod, ten minutes before she and Cookie both began crying hysterically. Being lost as to what of the many issues it could be (too much sun, hungry, lack of shade, boredom, scary sea snails, the brown seaweed ('I don't like brown things')) we all huddled under our umbrella and ate our pot of fruit salad. As we trekked back across the beach to our car they both fell asleep in carriers on our backs! Oh. 

We are really struggling sometimes with the car culture here in America as we want to arrive at a destination with parking, some sort of food, and toilets. It appears that often you have to drive to each one of these, via the coffee shop on the way. It makes for a drawn out longer day with less time for the activity we wanted to do. Or less food.



Cookies first look at the sea. She was mesmerised. Based on this i am going to encourage her to like mermaids. Perhaps one day we will make synthetic mermaid tails together in metallic greens and blues and purples. Living through my kids? Never.
