Nickerson State Park, Cape Cod

We are at Nickerson State Park in Cape Cod.  It is  mostly tent camping, although the sites are huge, at times it can be tricky getting a trailer into the sites.  You walk to the closest gazebo and there are trails leading down to the ponds, which are like small lakes.   Very clean.  Apparently salmon and trout, but we didn’t catch any!

Trent loves Scallops!

A story:  Today my mom decided to take us on the store on our bikes.   Then when we got on the path, she said, we’re alomost there, just a couple more minutes.  5 miles later, we were still biking.   There were some pretty big hills with signs on them that said Danger, steep hill, use at own risk.    Trent and I started speeding down the hill, and at the end of it were very sharp turns.  When we were going down the hill about 7 bikers were going up at the turn, and Trent slammed on the brakes and went into the bush and I slammed on my back brakes and everyone started looking at me and I did a 360 around someone, and went into the bush.   The moral of the story is:  look at the hill before you go down it, or you might have an accident. 

Then it took us about an hour to get to the store.  When we were about  1 minute there, Trent turned around and went home.    Then it was just me and my mom.  We went to the store and I got lots of candy and freezies and then we had a huge bike up the hills.   Moral of the story is:  never give up. 

There are very nice ponds here which have lots of fish in them and my brother got a new reel, which is a baitcaster.  He went to go try it and it was awesome.  He can shoot like 100 feet.  Trent is fishing now with Dad in the pond. 

Got lobster – at the end we had butter up to our elbows!

Went to the usual great places.  Rock Harbour for the sunset  - although it was a cloudy day.   The Lobster Claw restaurant – where we liked to eat scallops, baked scallops, fried clams and tonnes of seafood.  Tried everything!    Nauset Beach – it was a cloudy day.    Saw a huge group of seals going by.  We got lobster.
