March 23, 2012 at the Cape

Going back in time again.  In late March we again were able to get Tim's Cape house for the weekend.  It was the same weekend as the Travel Team Basketball Tournament...the first time in 12 years that David wasn't involved.  We actually ended up only seeing one of Collin's games and none of Reece's.  There was just too much to do!

We got there late on Thursday so that we could have the whole day on Friday.  So Friday began with Dunks coffee and the sunrise.

A nice walk on Dennis Beach "mile beach"

And watched the birds catching their breakfast.  On our way back to the car one of the seagulls dropped a clamshell right in front of us on to the parking lot trying to break it open.  Smart birds!

We decided to go to Nickerson State Forest to do some hiking since the day was sunny and about 70.  The Cape weather just seems to like us:-).  We walked around one of the smaller lakes first.  It was just so beautiful.  Nice trail all the way around lake.

Nickerson is much, much bigger than I thought.  We found the biggest lake (there are 7) and not knowing how big it was we set out to walk/hike the path around it.

The water is incredibly clean and the view from the far side was awesome.

The picture below is of rocks through the water.  This was actually rocks through about 4 inches of water.   I didn't get a picture, but you could see the fish swimming around.

Such a peaceful place.

Yup, there was some climbing involved.  When all was said and done we had walked almost 6 miles from sunrise to sunset.  It was a great day!

We were so blessed today.
