And the fun continues with a day at the beach!

We started our second day here in Cape Cod by discovering that not all ovens are created equal. Our nice simple breakfast of croissants turned out to be more of a challenge than we anticipated! Needless to say, we switched to Pop Tarts in the toaster this morning:-)

Since it was a beautiful sunny day (with highs in the mid-70's...ahhh) after our breakfast challenge, we decided to load up the car and head to schnitzel's first "real beach". Our destination? Corporation Beach in Dennis. We took a very scenic road (6A) which is also called the Old King's Highway. Should you ever make the trip to Cape Cod, this is a road to be experienced. It meanders along the north of the cape and is bordered by trees, flowers, neat old homes, shops of every description and peeks of water along the way. You don't take it to make time, as the speed limit tends to be around 25mph, but you wouldn't want to go much faster as you would surely miss out on some great views!

The schnitz wasn't nearly as enthralled with the scenic drive and fell asleep for a short nap. However, once we got him out of the car and he saw all that water? Woke right up!:-) This was a great first beach for him as it stays shallow for quite a ways out and the waves are really minimal. The first time a wave knocked him down and got his face, he was suprised. After that, didn't phase him in the slightest. Certainly helped that the water was such a pleasant temperature! Although we were informed by a wonderful couple that this was the "cold" side, the water was warmer than our outdoor pool in Parker, so we were ok with it:-)

He suprised us with his willingness to walk out until the water was up to his chest as long as daddy was along for the adventure:-)

I wonder why the little crabs run away when I come near them...must have heard stories from the kitties!

On a quest to find the "perfect" rock for throwing.

Oh yeah, this is a good one!

Let's see, threw the rock, check. Now what should I do next??

It was so nice of someone to dig this schnitzel-sized pool just for me! Now to go "show" this shovelful of wet sand to Mama. Hey Mama...stop running away!

Daddy gets some peace while Mama's busy being chased. This is considered fair by some;-)

Such a conscientous little guy...watering the beach to be sure it doesn't get dry;-)

After having a blast at the beach, we stopped for some incredible seafood at this little road-side tavern on our way home. Definitely recommended!

Such a great day! Hard to see how they can keep being topped, but I'm willing to keep an open mind:-)
