This is the fifth year of the Yarmouth Summer Celebration Kick-Off, and they’ll have all of your favorite events from years past plus some new ones for even more fun. They will start it off with a bang with a spectacular Fireworks display and a busy weekend commemorating the new playground opening in Yarmouthport on Saturday, and a jam-packed day of beach activities on our first #SundayFunday!

Here’s the event schedule online. I’ll give you a snippet below. It looks like tons of fun with a lot of stuff to do for kids and families!

Sounds like a ton of fun right?? Well, Red Jacket Resorts would like a very special family to have a front row seat at their place for the Yarmouth Summer Celebration Kick off events :-)  My family and I went to the Beach Resort in the Spring and just loved it. We can’t wait to experience it in all it’s glory – during a Cape Cod Summer!

We’ve had a long hard winter around these parts, haven’t we? Thinking about the beach, sand castles, the pool, nature walks, bbq, ice cream, s’mores, family, new friends, and most of all tired, dirty, happy kids. My favorite part about summer is just how happy they are to be running about on the beach with no cares except when there next sugar fox will be. Ahhhhhhhhh summer.

You can enter below. The winner will get to choose 2 nights accommodations at a Red Jacket Resorts on Cape Cod during the Yarmouth Summer Celebration, June 26th-July2nd, 2015. Accommodations available at Red Jacket Beach Resort, Blue Water Resort or Riviera Beach Resort.  Sweet!!

Get going…

Sensitive letter writer strikes again

We are about to set off for Mexico on an Anniversary trip. That means NO KIDS. I am conflicted. I reeeeeeeaaaaaaaallllllly want to go but I’m nervous to leave the kids. I know their in good hands, but I will miss them. I worry. I’m crazy!

I think my daughter could sense this. She gave me this letter. I promptly put it in my suitcase to bring with me. Because that’s what neurotic mothers do.

She has become an epic letter writer. I see journalling in her future!

Last fall the family and I trucked it on up to the White Mountains. We stayed at the Red Jacket Mountain View Resort. We had so much at the Resort and Kahuna Laguna. We also visited nearby Storyland. A really great weekend.

There we will be a myriad of activities for all ages.  The popular Kids’ Klub will be in session all week and Markus and Angelique Steelgrave will be there to add more than a touch of magic to vacation days.  Plus kite making, “Paint & Wine” nights, X Box One tournaments, culinary demonstrations, martini samplings, s’more nights at the beach campfire, movies on the big screen, an in-house caricaturist, and much more.  And, while the kids are being entertained, the Otis Cole Aveda Exclusive Spa is available to pamper ME with special value treatments.
