"Driving the wheel" in front of our house, Fairwinds. The view of Wellfleet Harbor from the back deck. The beach path behind the house leads to Uncle Tim's Bridge, which crosses Duck Creek and takes you into Wellfleet center.

Kayaking on Gull Pond in Wellfleet.

nauset marsh cruise

We went on a pontoon boat with a guide from the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary and hauled up an eel pot full of crabs, which I thought looked kind of sketchy. But sloshing through the mud and digging for clams, hermit crabs, and snails was lots of fun. The best part, though, was tasting sea pickle, which grows right out there on the marsh and really tastes like a pickle.

independence day

A petting zoo and a scary slide at Deerfield Family Days, and waiting for the "fireworking" at Glencoe beach.

cape cod beachcomber

It was recreational shellfishing day at Burton Baker Beach in Wellfleet, Mass. That's a bucket of oysters that guy is carrying. Mom and I biked there, so we didn't take home any loot.
