Just me and a couple of 6 year old boys today on Cape Cod. After we built an epic sand castle at low tide, me and the guys headed out for a tour de Cape. Or maybe a CC triathlon. Whatever. It was fun.

We started at the Red Barn, where we played a round of mini golf, finished off by Leo’s perfect shot into the clown’s mouth on 18. That earned him a free round.

Then we popped into the game room, where we hit the 1,000-ticket jackpot on the Big Bass game. The kids turned those tickets into valuable prizes like a stuffed shark, a green faux emerald and a pirate ring. We even had enough tickets to pick up a couple of trinkets for the kids back at the cottage.

Then it was off to Arnold’s for fish and chips, spaghetti with no sauce and a lobster roll.

After that, we headed from Eastham to Orleans, home of the Red Balloon toy store. The boys grabbed some Lego things and we went back to the cottage for some serious beach time.

Or, I should say they had beach time. I took a nice nap.
