Weekend in Swansea

Two weekends ago, we spent the weekend in Swansea. We were actually already in Massachusetts, because I was there on a business trip and Tim and Cam came along. We spent all day Friday at Kim's house, and Cathy came up to hang out as well. On Saturday we were at Tim's parents all day, and then on Sunday we celebrated Ella's 7th birthday.

Cam LOVED spending time with everyone. Of course, he couldn't get enough of Jack and Ella and wanted to play with them all day long. He also loved the kitties (at Kim's) and Brinkley the golden retriever at Mimi and Grandpa's house.

Kim and Jeff are having an addition put on their house, so there was a backhoe in their driveway. Jack and Cam were soooo excited!

Smile! Or at least, look at the camera...
Cam gets to drive! He was very annoyed when he had to get down.
How can I get back up there?
Daddy, can we buy one of these things?
Cam and Jack play in the sand/water table
SPLASH!
This is great!
Cameron, quite impressed with himself for finding something in the sand.
Take a break to pet Murphy
Cam had a ton of fun playing all day long with Jack and Ella, but didn't want to take a nap all day. By the time we got to Mimi and Grandpa's house, Cameron was practically twitching with exhaustion. He had a breakdown during dinner, rubbing food all over his head and in his hair. Shortly after this picture was taken, Cam took a bath and went to bed. Poor sweetie!
On Saturday we went over to Auntie Cathy's new house. The windows upstairs are just the perfect height for Cameron to peek out of and climb up on.
On Sunday we were in Millis to celebrate Ella's birthday. The party theme was soccer and Cameron was quite enthralled with his soccer ball necklace.
