Well, we are back from our long weekend at the beach and it was great! We left Wednesday evening and got to Ocean City, New Jersey around 8:00. We quickly unpacked the car and headed for the boardwalk for a few rides and of course some Kohrs Bros. ice cream. Thursday was a little chilly so we spent a late morning cruising the boardwalk on a surrey and then shopping. We all took naps and went to Atlantic City for the evening. In A.C. we went to an AWESOME place to eat called the Rainforest Cafe. Wow, the girls loved it. The whole place is decorated like a rainforest and they have animated animals all over, there's even a "thunderstorm" every 1/2 hour! After that we walked the boardwalk for a while before heading back to Ocean City. Friday was still a bit chilly but we went to the beach for a few hours anyway. Both of the girls had a great time on the beach although Avery wouldn't go near the ocean. That evening on the boardwalk Rylee rode her first big rollercoaster and has been addicted ever since! She was going on anything that they would let her and even getting upset when she was too little for some of them! Saturday was a perfect beach day and Rylee and I took advantage of it. We were all on the beach for a few hours but Dale took Avery back around 1:30 for a nap while Rylee and I stayed in the sun. Man, I'm still paying for it though, my fair skin got burned good even with sunscreen on!! Sunday we got up and packed up before going to the waterpark for the morning. We had so much fun there and once again Rylee was going on the big kid slides!!! Poor Avery must have been tired from her big vacation, she fell asleep within the first four blocks of the trip home and Rylee followed her a few miles later. We got home last night and of course Rylee already wants to go back. She will just have to wait until September when we go back for another long weekend. Well, that's the story of our big weekend at the beach! I hope you are enjoying your summer, I'll write again soon, right now six load of laundry and an empty fridge are waiting for me.
