Ocean City, NJ

The buddies enjoyed their second trip to Ocean City, NJ, Me-Mom's favorite family friendly beach. The same cast from our zoo trip joined us at the beach, along with Aunt Kate and Uncle Chris.

The morning rains didn't stop the buddies and their cousins from having a blast. They all dipped their toes in the cool ocean and had a blast running around on the beach. By 1:00, the rain ceased and we were able to play under the shade of the clouds, without getting too hot.

The kids enjoyed playing in the beach pit, dug out by Ace and Ben's daddy. The buddies even helped him haul buckets of water from the shore to fill it. We had five very muddy kids by the end of the day.

After a full day of fun at the shore, we headed to the boardwalk for dinner, shopping, and rides. The buddies loved the tea-cup ride with Aunt Amy and Finn, but Finn thought it spun a little too fast. After all three kids rode the train with Steve, we called it a day and headed back to Me-Mom's house. Ace and Ben hope a trip to the shore becomes an annual tradition during our summer visits.
