CC Day 3

It rained a bit in the morning on this day, and it was overcast, so we decided to spend part of the day driving up the outer cape and visiting a couple lighthouses. It was fun to see the sights. We ended the day going to a Chatham Anglers baseball game-a full and fun day!

This is the Nauset Lighthouse, which is also the lighthouse portrayed on the bag of Cape Cod chips (which we happen to buy).  








Next, we stopped to eat our lunch and explore at the Marconi Wireless Station. There were really nice views of the outer cape and the Atlantic Ocean. This is also the location of the first trans-Atlantic wireless communication between the U.S. and England in 1903. 



He's so goofy...
















He likes to use sticks as guns


We walked right over to the edge where there was a steep drop off, and a nice view of the Atlantic Ocean.





Our next stop was Highland Lighthouse. Judah and Eric were actually able to go up in this one.









While Eric and Judah did the tour up the lighthouse, Eden and Asher played outside. Of course, once Asher discovered all the rocks, he just sat there and made rock piles. Eden joined in as well.

They are hard to see, but there is Eric and Judah!

For some reason, I really like these pictures. I love the lighthouse in the background, and seeing them play with the rocks. I'm not sure if it's the contrast in the size of the lighthouse to the kids or what, but for some reason, these are some of my favorites.



Our last stop was the Cape Cod National Seashore Visitor Center (in Provincetown), which overlooks the sand dunes.







Waaaay in the distance you can see the Pilgrim Monument


Now for some evening baseball! We didn't stay the whole game, but it was really neat to experience a small town baseball game. The town was there to cheer on their team, and there were lots of families and kids running around. 

















Rolling down hills is always fun!
