The Anderson Brood: Family Vacation at The Cape

This summer we went back to Wellfleet, MA to the same spot we vacationed last year. Aaron and Helena loved that it was exactly as they remembered it the year before and Natalie loved racing right behind them. We rented a large house with Stacie's parents, sister and cousin's families. The kids loved being together and had a fantastic week together!

Our first day at the beach was pretty overcast but it didn't stop Aaron from having a great time!

Can you tell Natalie loves the water?

Mayo Beach is the perfect place for the kids to explore ocean sea life

Aaron loved having another boy to play with

One of the days during the week, Helena befriended a little girl and they had a blast on the boogie board together

The boogie boards were the biggest hit of the week, Grandma and Grandpa bought each of the kids their own and they spent hours on out in the waves during high tide riding their boards

One of Scott's favorite days of the week was the afternoon he spent with them out on the waves. It was a really windy day and the waves were pretty big for a beach on the bay. All three of them had a blast and the kids never slept so well!

This photo was taken on the last day of our vacation. Everyone had left earlier in the day due to some rain, but we decided to wait it out and returned to the beach in the late afternoon after the rain. The sun came out and it was high tide. It was my favorite day at the beach!
