Evan visited 2 weekends ago and we had a jam-packed weekend! He and his girlfriend Kayse arrived on Friday morning and stayed until Monday night. They did a lot of exploring the city on their own but Paul and I met up with them Friday night after work and hosted them until Monday morning.
We went to the Red Sox game Friday night and then drove to the Cape late that night. Saturday we got about 2-3 hours of sun (usually the weather is great at the cape - but what are ya gonna do), the best part about this weekend on the cape was that the waves were pretty big, so Paul and Evan spent most of their time in the freezing cold water.
- side note -
Paul's family was at that game as well (his parents, Rob, and his cousins Beth and Harrison (in the pic)) Rob actually caught a FOUL BALL! he immediately gave the ball to his 7yr old cousin Harrison...who then started saying "I caught a ball, I caught a ball" (Harrison not Rob - well actually Rob won't stop talking about it either!) When Paul and I saw them after the game...Harrison showed Paul the ball saying "I caught a ball!" ...Paul immediately told him "no you didn't, Rob did"....guess Paul is going to be a "you are either a winner or a loser" kind of dad :) haha.
We also stopped by a little fresh market stand right by the cottage on Saturday afternoon to pick up some food for the rest of the weekend.
{these cookies actually have extra salt in them for extra sweet/salty - so good!}
{we stopped by the Truro Vineyard on the way home}
{we set up a spread Saturday afternoon and played some scrabble - our fav!}
{Evan and I love tomatoes!}
{must.have.cheese}
{animal crackers - will FOREVER be good}
{I love wine in a little low pretty glass}
{Evan and Paul keep tally with everything...pingpong.scrabble.pool.dipscontest...}
{pizza on the street - people watching}
{this p-town character wanting nothing to do with Kayse ;) }
Sooo...Sunday morning Paul and I made breakfast. We are older...soo I guess it was normal that we woke up around 8am ready to start the day, thinking Kayse and Evan would be up sooner than later (wrong). Paul is a busy body (which might be an understatement) so after about 15 minutes of being awake he wanted to get started making breakfast...no wasting time! He decided he could go ahead and cook the bacon...and keep it warm in the oven...made sense and I knew it would keep him busy. Then he decided he would make the blueberry pancakes...and keep them warm in the oven....fine... then he proceeded to clean the dishes...and had me set the table...I knew I was running out of time to keep him preoccupied..or distracted. By 10am he decided he would go ahead and crack the 12 eggs into the bowl for whisking....huh? he was getting desperate. By 10:30 he had whisked these eggs about 23 different times...they were going to be fluffy for sure. At 10:45 he looked at me and asked if we could wake Kayse and Evan up (who were still snoozin' upstairs) I told him to wait but quickly noticed he was no longer being carefully quiet. By 11am Evan finally decided he would get up...by 11:08, Evan and Kayse were sitting at the table with a plate of food in front of them to eat...whether they were hungry yet or not!
Needless to say...it was a funny morning to witness.
{blueberries for the pancakes...Paul in the background being restless}
{it turned out delish!}
{rather than fresh coffee or OJ - Evan opted for NOS first thing in the morning - barf!}
{Sunday was overcast but we went to the beach so the guys could catch some waves!}
{they did this for about an hour - let me remind you it was freezing cold water}
{our make-shift tent}
{probably thinking the guys are out of their minds!}
Overall it was a great weekend and I can't wait to have them back!
