Ocean City, NJ

To celebrate my Mom's birthday (we won't say which one) on August 15th, we headed to Ocean City, NJ for a little R & R. It was a great time. The weather couldn't have been more beautiful. Great beach days every day.

We suspected that Katie would love the beach, she always does. But, it was a toss up for Andrew. Just 4 weeks earlier we were at Newfound Lake and (sorry Andrew), but it was kind of a pain in the rear to have a non-sitting infant on the beach. Someone had to hold him at all times and the water was too cold for his tender little toes. It is amazing how quickly babies change. Now, Andrew is sitting very well on his own and doing a drunken-like crawl. He loves the water, a nice 70ish degrees and loved the sand between his toes. He was much happier on the beach and so were WE!


Like his sister the last two years, Andrew ate sand. Wet sand, dry sand...he ate sand. This is him checking out the waves.















Ocean City has a nice boardwalk with rides. All the kids (even the big ones enjoyed this one). That is Rich and Carolyn in the back with their son, Charlie (almost 1 yr).

Katie rode the fire engines, boats, cars, carousel, teddy tilt a world and (much to Aunt Carolyn and my dismay) a hot air balloon ride that spun just a little too much.



I Hope the volume is loud enough for you to get the gist...

Katie is Andrew's biggest and best source of amusement! Anything she does and says makes him CRACK UP. Katie was jumping and splashing in this little pool so much that Andrew's face was soaked. You think he would cry from the salt water....Nope, he thought Katie was hysterical.
