Weekend at the Cape

We had the chance to spend some time with Mike's family last weekend, and it was great to have them over so Vince could 'play' with his cousins Noelle and Andrew. I put play in quotes because it was mainly listening to Vince whine about them taking his trains/toys the whole time. The kid has pretty much completed his transition into 2 year old monster, pushing his limits on control. I keep saying all he needs is little fangs and the transition will be complete!

We all went to the Cape for the wedding of a family friend that Mike grew up with, so it was a chance to have a nice getaway as well. We stayed at the Red Jacket Beach Resort, which was a perfect little spot that had great pools and great views.

We also got to almost max out our minivan with the number of people we were able to stack in there! We do have one more seat that goes in the middle for an 8th person, but luckily we didn't need it. It was fun hanging out in the 'Licorice Van' as Vince calls it. In the back row we have Noelle, Lisa, and Andrew; while in the middle we have Vince and Uncle Neal chillin out.

We also were able to celebrate Vince's 2nd birthday a little early as Nonna and Pop Pop brought an amazingly delicious cake from New York. We all sang happy birthday and practically the whole restaurant joined in. There were a few rowdy tables near us full of people that weren't afraid to belt it out for the nearly 2 year old.

Then there was the actual reason we were there, for the wedding. The reception was a great time, especially since our babysitter came all the way out from our town to babysit the three kids all night! She had her hands full with them, but I think they had fun.

It started with a pizza party in our hotel room

Meanwhile we got to have our own fun!

Yeah I'm looking pretty pregnant these days, but I was able to hold my own on the dance floor!
