Cape Cod Trip

 The middle of June we got a nice break from the stress of moving and starting a business to spend a week up in my favorite vacation destination: Cape Cod. My cousin, Merissa was married on June 18th to Ryan Walsh, one of our summer friends from the time we were 12 years old. I was so happy for the two of them and they had the perfect Cape Cod wedding. I'm so glad we got to go. Pictured above was a photo op of the Kippen grandchildren at Long Beach one night.
 The is one of the views from the church they were married in in West Hyannisport. It was a gorgeous day for it.
 My cousin, Lauren, the maid of honor carrying my cousin's little girl, Brooke. She's Bryce's age and an adorable flower girl.
 This was the best picture we had of the new happy couple with my cousin's in-laws family.
Their reception was at the Hyannisport golf club. A very nice and exclusive golf club that features such players at the Kennedy's and celebrities. Ryan, my cousin's new husband works there so they got an "in" to have their reception there. This was the view from the dance floor.They served really yummy appetizers, filet minion for dinner and had a chocolate bar for dessert. I had a blast dancing after dinner with all my cousins and aunts. 

 The next few days were really nice beach days. We had some good relaxation time while the boys played in the sand. The water was a little cold for swimming but we got in one day.
 These next few pictures were taken on Squaw Island my favorite place to go to the beach. Its an island just off of a little beach at the end of the street in our neighborhood. You have to wade over to the island at low tide but on the other side you have a perfectly private beautiful beach all to yourself.
 Andy got into a fight with a crab. The crab lost.
 The sand bar at low tide.
 Bryce taking a snooze.
 Andy and my brother-in-law Brandon made these sandcastles before the tide started to come in.
This last picture I found on my camera after Tyler had been playing with it. Why do I see so much of his father in him?
