Our second week in August: Pike-apalooza!!

We had our annual Pike family visit to Cotuit during the second week of August. Carrie, Jim, and Jake flew in from Minnesota, and Aunt Ginny came up from New York with Mimi and Grandpa. We ate amazing seafood every night, thanks to the urging of Jim. It really was a treat. One night, Jim bought us some outstanding oysters which he learned to shuck on the spot, and clams and mussels. Mimi and Ginny cooked some amazing scallops another night. Chris and I (not the most ambitious cooks) bought precooked 2 lb lobsters for everyone another night. Take a peek!


Although the weather wasn't perfect the entire week, we ate outside most nights.


The kids had ice cream almost every night.



Yummy.


Gemma loves her cones.




We managed to get in kayaking and some great beach time. It was a wonderful week and we can't wait until next year!
