Day 2 of vacation

I am sitting in my uncle's house on Cape Cod and taking a few minutes to blog about our trip. Things have been pretty low key for the past two days which was nice after a grueling day of travel on Friday. We woke up at 4:30 in the morning and didn't stop travelling all day! The boys were perfect. ME was a little hard to handle on the plane, but overall was better than expected.

We hadn't been here but 30 minutes before Matthew collided with his second cousin, Matty and cut his lip pretty badly. Blood was everywhere! What a start to the trip. My Matthew is very tough and doesn't cry easily. He was crying so hard that he started sweating. Bless his heart! After he calmed down, he told me, "Daddy said that was a manly cry." I guess he was embarassed.

A lot of my extended family came in for the weekend to see us. Aunts, uncles, cousins, and second cousins. The kids have had so much fun together. Three of the seven second cousins here are named Matthew. It has gotten confusing! We spent the day yesterday and the beach on my uncle's property. Last night we celebrated many of our family's birthdays and anniversarys. It was so chilly last night that I had to put on a sweatshirt and jeans. Pure heaven!

I think we are going to try to go to Plymouth Plantation tomorrow. We are going to spend the rest of the day just relaxing and gearing up for a busy week. I will try to write more tomorrow or Tuesday!

Hope Matthew is okay.

You would NOT be using a sweatshirt in TX today--hope you enjoy the cool--and all of your family!

Are the Matthews named after a common relative?
