We Heart Visitors

Yes we do.

Especially family.

This was the Wieder's first visit to the Vineyard!

First they flew to Indiana.

Then they and the Ostlund's drove

all... the... way...

to Cape Cod

with an infant... 5 kids... and a hooptie.

Wahoo!

There was Tracey and Trisha

Shailey

Greyson

Emma

Aleigh

Jonas

And pretty Saydie Mae.

All aboard this here hooptie.

What is a hooptie?

from dictionary.com

"a large older automobile, often in poorcondition; jalopy"

Yes, this rented van was definitely a jalopy.

But at a good price, one might sacrifice pleasure for business.

But it got them here and there.

Duck tape and all.

And it was all worth it.

Super Jonas!

I think this is one of my favorite photos.

Maybeline sporting Shailey's new specs.

But it's hard to call them new.

I'm pretty sure these were popular in 1950 by men.

Then repeated in 1989 by women of the business class.

Shoulder-pads and all.

But who's to judge this stylish teen queen?

Certainly not her 27 year old auntie.

Too legit to quit.

Yes that would be me.

The Hostess with the Mostess.

As they say.

I love my sisters!

Tracey captured this preciousness!

This is also one of my favs!

Are they not the cutest little pair?

First Flying Horses ride!

She wasn't thrilled but she managed.

Just another one of those "new things" she's cautious about. Emma trying to get the brass ring The BEST chocolate in the WORLD!

Chilmark Chocolates. Maybeline decided she doesn't like sand anymore.

But she loves her cousins! Little button!

Laughing at Tracey backing up into a street lamp while trying to get our photo.

It was funnier than it sounds.

Clearly.

Hearts & Pink= Tracey

My sous chefs.

Trisha striking it in front of an an old sea captain's home.

Despite some cold & cloudy days, we had a blast!
