Beaches, Haircuts and Minigolf - A Little Staycation

4th of July falling on a Thursday and awesome weather made a good excuse for a super long weekend, and what turned into a "staycation".  We packed lots of fun into the weekend, trying to stay cool in the heat.  Two beaches, Alex's first haircut, mini golf and ice cream made for two tired little boys (and parents).

Alex's first haircut! A lollipop got him in the chair, and he barely noticed after that!

All done!  Just a little trimmed off, can't part with the curls yet.

Beach trip #1 was to Nahant Beach.  Super close and really cheap.  Minimal parking means it isn't crowded too, perfect!
Digging a hole with Daddy and learning all about capillary action.

Men in rashguards :)

After a busy morning, Michael attempts to get the boys to nap in the pop up tent.  It was a fail, but a cute photo :)


After naps at home, we went an played mini golf.  Alex spent the whole time trying to throw the balls and his club in the water.  Nathan did an awesome job really playing.  Michael and I just followed them around laughing.

At the end of the round, Nathan got his ball in the "win a free game" hole!  He was very proud.

And what is mini gold without ice cream?  Richardson's to boot.  Mmmmm....

That night we had a big dinner out at Chipolte.  Nathan wanted me to take a picture of him with his "mad face."
The next day we went to a more low-key beach at Breakheart Reservation.  The boys had a great time really swimming in the lake and making new friends.

  1. What an absolutely wonderful holiday - you all have so much fun. Alex is a doll (or the masculine version anyhow) getting his hair cut. I like the photo of Nathan's pride in getting his ball in the free game hole, and the one where he looks like a real golfer. Don't quite believe that was a real mad face though.
