Cape Cod Sunday


Boats awaiting the fishing season...
More coastal shots, taken as spring hits though it all still looks like winter.
View from the bedroom :
The neighborhood seagulls were VERY well fed by Rachel. They even got birthday cake!
Sunday was shrouded in a fog that came and went several times. We all packed to leave for our homes and we left in shifts.

Do you believe?

We all hope everyone, everywhere had a wonderful Easter too!


Isn't it amazing that the Easter Bunny is able to find you-even when you are away from home! The Easter Bunny must have a VERY fancy GPS...or is it a E(egg)PS?

Who's got the snazzy plaid P.J.s?


More eggs?!? By the VCR!?What a clever Easter Bunny!
It looks like the somewhat taller Miss. Sara was using her height expertise to help locate those eggs that were resting in higher places...
I was fast asleep while all this was going on so I don't know the story behind each photo-maybe there are even more eggs in the plastic bag!?!(Madi's mommy Tina took all of the photos so she knows more than me about what is really going on here...)

Eggs! Eggs! And more EGGS!
It's a good thing Aiden was there to help as Miss. Madi sure had her hands full with all of the goodies left behind!
Mr. Aiden helped Madi by taste testing some of the eggs -YUM!
Madilyn found eggs here, there and everywhere!
Bright and early Sunday morning Miss. Madilyn awoke to find all sorts of goodies scattered about the house!

10 eggs? 20 eggs? 30 eggs? 40 eggs? 50 eggs? 60 eggs? 70 eggs? A little birdie told me there might have been as many as 75 eggs left behind , in the oddest places...
Can you guess how many eggs the Easter Bunny had hidden, all around the house?


I would call him one messy bunny but in his defence there was no door mat for him to wipe his sand covered paws upon...
And since this was a beach house -it only stands to reason that the Easter Bunny would leave a trail of very sandy foot prints !
This bunny actually broke into the frig. and ATE some of the greenery! Guess he needs to refuel in between homes so he has the energy to hide all of those eggs!
Late Saturday evening the Easter Bunny made his much anticipated visit to our beach front abode. (Did you know the Easter Bunny comes with an entourage? Much as Santa has his elves (and reindeer) Mr. Cotton Tail comes with assistants too! How else could he hide ALL of those eggs , in every house, all over the world, in time for Easter?

Saturday

We stayed on :In the village of:


The web site describes our house as one that used to be the light house keepers. In the distance is the actual light house. My early childhood memory of foggy days like these always involved the sound of the fog horn as, in fog like this, a light house did little functional good.
The sun fights to break through the fog ...
The house , as seen from the road:


Nesting platform for (?) ospreys (?)


The coast:



Fun in the sun with a kite...

Joanne's 50th/Cape Cod / Easter weekend







As the sun sets & things get chilly...
Home base for the weekend:


The beach that runs in front of the house in West Dennis/late Friday afternoon:
Here are most of the photos from Joanne's 50th birthday party-ENJOY! (They run as chronologically as possible but due to the blogger format are backwards so the last photos are the first taken )
