Cape Cod

We had a fun weekend in Cape Cod with the LDSSA group here at school. There were about 25 couples that joined us. There was no school on Friday, so Thursday night we had a big dinner together here on campus and then left early Friday morning for the beach.
There were so many cute homes along the coast. This one was one of my favorites. It looks like a home right out of a Ralph Lauren magazine.

JFK Memorial
Our hotel had a great wave pool and a couple of fun slides. The kids and adults had so much fun swimming. The adults would race down the slides timing one another. I am not sure if the adults or kids had more fun.Sheldon lives next door to us. Every day either he or Jaxon will be knocking on each others doors to come out and play. It is so cute to see these little 1 and 2 year old kids knocking on the door wanting to play with their friends. Jaxon has loved having Maddy across the hall and Sheldon next door they all play so well together.
Friday night we all put our kids down and hired a couple babysitters to literally watch 10 or so monitors in the hall. I thought it was so funny to come outside and see monitors in front of every door. It was nice that we were all next to each other.
We had a few rooms at the hotel where we played games all night. It was so much fun.
Happy Birthday Kristin!

Apple Picking

A fun New England tradition is to go apple picking. A bunch of us girls packed the kids in the car this morning and headed for the orchard. The apples are so yummy.
Kristin and Michelle They also had a fun pumpkin patch
Jax and Maddy
Maddy lives across the hall from us and is Jaxon's new buddy. He is over at her place daily. It is fun to have a friend that lives so close.

Fenway

One of the reasons we were so excited to move to Boston was to be able to see our Red Sox. We are a 5-10 min ride from Fenway. We put on our winter gear on Thursday to watch the Red Sox take on the Angels. We were a little worried to take Jax, but he loved it.

Me, Kristin, and Jessie
Jax made it through the first 45 minutes or so and then ended up snoozing the rest of the game. I love that he can sleep wherever and whenever if he is tired enough.
