Nana, Auntie Katie, and Dorian Come to Visit

In our next (and last) wave of visitors,

Nana, Auntie Katie, and Cousin Dorian arrived from Oregon.

The trip could have been called

"So much to do, so little time."

First and foremost, the cousins had a lot of catching up to do.

Last time Orin saw Dorian he wasn't nearly as fun to play with.

For example, one-year-olds

just aren't as good at digging holes in the sand...

can't go on bike rides with you...

and can't swim in the pond.

 But the cousin fun didn't stop there.

Orin and Dorian also had a blast when we went to

Harbor Point Beach and waded in looking for cool sea creatures:

They had a great time building sand castles with Nana:

Playing naked in the backyard:

 

Running wild at the beach:

Burying Orin in the sand: 

(And uncovering him again):

Doing whatever this is:

And, of course, eating ice cream at the Cape Cod Creamery:

And what were the adults doing while the kids were

having all this fun?

We were having some fun of our own:

Walking around the cranberry bog:

Hanging out at Harbor Point beach:

Catching some rays at Seagull Beach:

 

 

Enjoying the shade at Horse Pond:

And making tye-dye shirts for the kids:

It was a wonderful visit that went way too quickly.

We would have needed many more weeks to do all of the 

things that we had meant to do. 

 

But, instead, we just have to start planning for the next visit

they will make to the Cape.

After all, next time it will be with Dorian's baby sister.

We can't wait!
