Life even MORE fun at the BEACH!!!

So, the kiddos and I made a trip to the NJ shore. Scott's Aunt Gerry always says "come down anytime"... so we took her up on her offer. This was the first time I've taken a trip with just me and the kiddos.. but it turned out to be a GREAT time.... smiles all around!!! We went to the boardwalk in Ocean City, and played in the water on tuesday afternoon. Both girls were happiest when splashing in the water... they were just too cute!!! Then Wednesday morning I fit in a nice run with the gals, half way point worked out to be a playground, then ran back, showered, then off to Brigentine Beach. The girls listened sooooooo well (it was SCARY!!) and had a BLAST!!! The water was "cold" but they didnt' care. They built sandcastles, and then destroyed them, found shells for Bob (our 13 year old hermit crab....), and chased birds... full day any way you look at it. And we timed it perfectly since it started to rain as soon as we left... We stopped on the way back to Aunt Gerry's place for lunch, and then played at her house for a while... then headed home... It was a GREAT experience having them just to me away from home... and I almost want to do it again VERY soon....
