Cape Cod 2012

New England has not gotten more rain all year long than what it has received in the past week, the very we had long planned our vacation to Cape Cod.  We traveled in torrential downpour from Canterbury, Connecticut to Wellfleet, Massachusetts. Yet, while the weather has not been optimal, our time together in the Cape Cod environs has been marvelous.  You might ask yourself, "What about Day 2?"  Did they not have any adventures on Day 2?  We did, but they were very wet adventures, not very picture friendly.  We hope you enjoy our photo journal!

 Day 1: 

Lecount Hollow Beach

 Walking on Lecount Hollow Beach

 Day 3 

Hiking on Great Island we came across many horseshoe crab exoskeletons.

 On our return trip, the trail above was submerged in water resulting from high tide.  We had to walk along the other side of the fence, restricted territory.

 Still Day 3

After our hike, we ate sandwiches in the car overlooking the Wellfleet Harbor and then played in the adjacent park.

Day 4

Hiking the Goose Pond Trail in Wellfleet Bay's Wildlife Sanctuary.

"La Rana" in the pond.

Later we bought Nora a small stuffed frog from the gift shop, which she named "Floody."

A fiddler crab.  

Famous for attracting females by waving its single claw.

 Nora was later incorporated into the fifth grade class behind her.
