Lest I be accused of neglecting my other sister, Elizabeth, this post is devoted to the things we did together last summer. Or rather the things that we watched our sons do, because they're at that age where what we do is usually all about them. We both have two boys. Hers are Rocco (age 8) and Shane (age 5) and they're the cutest nephews I've ever had! John and Sam have a lot of fun with them.
So without further ado...
So without further ado...
We went to the Cape Cod Inflatable Park. Here are Sam and Rocco battling it out. Rocco won!
An attempt for a picture after dinner that day. Four boys cooperating for a picture all at the same time?
As you can see, that didn't happen.

At my mom's house...
Legos
iPad games and bunny ears
Dinner alfresco
Slip 'n Slide fun
Tire swings and tree-climbing
Shane tried so hard to follow John up!
But in the end only John made it up. In a few more years Shane!
And a special treat from Grandma--a pinata!
Sam busted it open!
At Southwick's Zoo
Sweet times with the goats!
Here's one of the only pictures I took that has Elizabeth and her husband Justin in it. (Kids take over everything!)
Rocco really likes giving bunny ears! 🐇
It's fun watching Sam and Rocco grow up together. They're only six months apart in age.
Four boys and a tiger! 🐯
Four boys and another tiger (or two).
The zoo also had a few rides that the boys enjoyed together.
It was close to the end of the day so they had the rides mostly to themselves.
Shane couldn't get enough of this little car ride. Look at his face! He rode it again and again.
I love how they all squeezed into the same car even though all of the other cars were available. 💓
Shane finally decided to leave the cars and try out this froggy bounce ride.
It didn't disappoint!
A few weeks later at the Cape house
Waiting to go to the beach...
At the beach...
(Bayview Beach to be exact. This is one of our favorite beaches to bring the kids to.)
They built an impressive moat (or something like that) together.
Shane was too busy to come pose for a group picture with their fabulous moat.
(I think salt water got onto my phone's camera lens for this picture.)
Enjoying a treat from the ice-cream truck...
I'm looking forward to more adventures with Elizabeth and my cute nephews in the not-too-distant future!
(And this time I'll try to remember to take more pictures of us!)
