And summer is beach time! We drove to Cape Cod for the weekend and the weather was nice. First we visited Aunt Tory and her family outside of Boston, then headed to Brewster to stay with Uncles Ken and Tom. I went to the beach and played in the sand, hunted for fish, shells, hermit and fiddler crabs, napped in the hammock, and ate most of Dad's clam strips at lunch one day. I love Cape Cod.

Cape Cod!
Well, Cape Cod was so much fun last time, we decided to do it again this year. Once again we stayed with our friends Ken and Tom in Brewster, MA. They're super nice and I'm glad they let us visit. There's a hammock at the house and a big rocking swing and a shed with extra beach toys.
The first day there was rainy, so Mom and Dad took me to the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History (also in Brewster). They have lots of fun activities there, a library and a a nice little aquarium. Since it was gray and cloudy on morning number two, we went to the Cape Cod Inflatable Park in South Dennis. All I can say is, wow. There were more inflatable rides there than I've ever seen. I could run, jump, bounce, climb and slide on so much stuff. Even Dad got on/in some of the rides with me! It was all very exciting. Later that day, we all went to Marconi Beach in Wellfleet, where I got to dig in the sand and collect lots and lots of rocks that were all over the beach.
The following day was warm and sunny. Mom and Dad brought me to Skaket Beach in Orleans. It was very busy and crowded there, but I had lots of fun. Ken let me borrow a net and I tried to catch some fish with it. Then I played in the sand with Dad. On our last day on the Cape, we took a drive into Sandwich to have lunch and ice cream, then it was back to the house, where I rested in the hammock and made bubbles in the backyard.
I can't wait to go back. Here are some pictures of the fun I had in Cape Cod, and a link to even more photos on Dad's flickr page.

Mercier Family Reunion
I went to Lake Placid this past week for a vacation and family reunion. I got to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa M, and all of my Uncles, Aunts and Cousins* from Dad's side of the family, some that I never met before! The weather was beautiful and there was so much to do. I went swimming, fishing, bowling, played on the beach on Mirror Lake, ate s'mores, built forts with cushions, slept in a bunk bed and stayed up really late.
*cousin Lynne couldn't be there because of grad school obligations
