We joined Gramzie Ladybug and Leepa for a week at the Jersey shore. Auntie Tiffy was able to catch a few days as well. My friend Kerri and her family also happened to be staying about a block away...so Ethan enjoyed having Brett on the beach to play with...or should I say shoot at with his water gun.
The weather was quite humid and very hot...a great time to have the Ocean near by to cool off! We enjoyed walking the boardwalk a few mornings and evenings, hanging out at the beach and jumping the waves in the Ocean, & many great eats.
Of course we had to do amusement rides as well, with our little thrill seeker Ethan! He had been begging to go on the big kid Go Karts...so Daddy agreed to take him on...as an on looker I thought he hated it as he was balling from my view, later on to find out Ethan was upset that HE was not allowed to drive the go kart and he was throwing a tantrum and managed to wedge his foot into Jimmy's leg to lock the gas pedal completely down...luckily the go karts had governing chips for speed... I even got to enjoy a few rides this year...Mommy got to do all the spinny rides as Daddy can't handle them...and it appears that Mommy may have over done it as Ethan was looking a little green...opps! (I guess I like to spin more than the average bear!) Ethan was tall enough to try out a few rides on his own this year...yikes our little man is growing up!
Daphne took well to the beach and the water...unfortunately NO FEAR...she crawled right into the water and didn't mind the waves crashing into her. She also had quite the pallet for sand and salt water?! What is it with my kids and EATING the environment?!
Thanks Gramzie Ladybug and Leepa for a wonderful vacation!
