Lots of great advice already, but I'll throw in a little as well.
Fairway restaurant is excellent for dinner as well, very kid friendly and very good food. Always been happy with it. Arnolds is great, but also Moby #^^^^&s in Wellfleet which is BYOB as opposed to Arnolds.
The beach in front of you is as good as it gets. Ocean side beaches are beautiful, but crowded and the water is FRIGID. Your kids will be much happier in the bay.
Provincetown is definately worth a trip. At low tide walk across the jetty in the harbor and on to the flats (or part way) with the kids. Marine Specialties will be a hit with your 6 yr old. Have lunch outside at the Surf Club looking at the harbor. Dolphin Fleet started the whale watching industry in the NE. Your kids will like the Wydah Pirate museum on the wharf. Bike through the dunes out to the beaches on the Provincelands bike path. The CeeJay does harbor fishing trips that may be pretty good for the kids.
We have spent many vacations on the outer cape with our kids where we rarely leave the house/beach. You can rent kayaks and have them delivered to your house. On a calm day, take a light tackle setup out in the bay and cast to stripers and blues. Soak some sand eels on the bottom at hi tide. Sunsets are amazing. Sand bars and tidal pools will keep the kids happy.
If you wish to cook your own lobsters, call Cheryl the Lobster Lady in N Truro. Best lobsters on CC, hands down. She sells from her garage the lobsters her husband brings in that day. None better. PM me for a number. Pick them up on the way back from PTown.
The CC Rail Trail (bike path) is not far from you and goes by Arnolds.
If I were you, I would focus the activities from Orleans/Chatham to PTown. Otherwise you will have lots of traffic issues between Orleans and Dennis on Suicide Alley.
So much to do, start planning for next year...
