Seeing Stars

we did see some fireworks, but moreso than that, I think Dana was seeing stars!

here are a few shots of our holiday weekend down the Cape.

Friday Dan and I both took the day off. I woke up early to do my 8 mile walk before we left for our mini-vacation. I came home and Joe and Claudia arrived. Dan cooked us all a yummy breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes and eggs. Then we hopped in the cars and onto the bikes and headed south. It was already hot and sunny and finally feeling like summer.

We spent the day at Mr. Schlichti's house in Falmouth and got ready for the big 4th of July party on Saturday. Here are a couple shots from Saturday.

This is June Bug- aka Junie, Joe and Claudia's new dog. She's a cutie!

Joe and Junie being silly!

Saturday night we headed over to Pocasset where Mike and Shanti, Shawn and Ellen and the kids rented a place for the week.
The kids, Timmy, Sammy and Isabelle were very much enjoying chasing Dana around the yard, and I'm not quite sure how but it turned into beating the crap out of Dana with any plastic toy they could get their hands on.

And since Dana just plays right along, no one was going to tell them they weren't supposed to do it. They were all having a blast!

But you know what they say....

Its all fun and games until someone gets hurt.

But it at least it was the big kid, and not one of the little ones.

Dana was bleeding... nothing like a head wound from a wiffle bat ;)

{for those of you who don't know him-- he was NOT really in all that much pain- but it made for a great show!}

it was a great mini-vacation. dan and i headed home early on sunday to beat the traffic- then enjoyed a lazy day at home. a perfect end to a great weekend!
