It's here!! SUMMERTIME!! I feel like it's been a long time coming and we wasted no time jumping right into making summer memories!
First up was a trip to Wildwood with Mike's cousin, Rob, and his wife, Rebecca, and children Audrey and Nora. They drove all the way in from Iowa and when Audrey first walked in the door she said, "We're on vacation!!!" Yes, we are!!! FUN FUN FUN!
 |
| We had a great spot on a little inlet off of the ocean. The water was really warm and the kids liked having no waves. |
 |
| Thanks, Gammy, for the fun beach toys! |
 |
| Paw Patrol was on the scene! |
 |
| Cam's tractor doing some beach farming... |
 |
| Allie says, "Where is my frisbee??"" |
 |
| "Oh! There it is!" |
 |
| Audrey and Cam heading into the deep water! |
 |
| We discovered lots of little fish in the inlet! |
 |
| "Got 'em!" |
 |
| Our fish tank |
 |
| Destroying Rob's sand castles was much fun. |
A cute story to share about Cameron. He's been saying lately how he doesn't love things. Instead of saying, "I don't like the waves" he says, "I don't love the waves." It's so cute! It's also cute when he says how he loves people and things too. "I love Mason" (his best friend) or "I love to go outside." Very cute!
 |
| Heading to check out the waves! |
 |
| Audrey and Allie became quick friends! |
 |
| "We love the snack tent!" |
 |
| Allie caught a fish! |
 |
| Go Nora! |
 |
| Relaxing at the beach house was also a favorite pastime... |
 |
| Another Paw Patrol fan! |
We headed out to check out the boardwalk. This is the first time we've been at the shore when things were actually opened!
 |
| Riding in style... |
 |
| Pink elephants! |
 |
| Yeah, Audrey! |
 |
| Nora and her daddy |
 |
| Happy Twinjas |
 |
| Allie has a new favorite color -- GREEN! |
 |
| Cameron skipped the ride for a turn so he could get the front red truck... |
 |
| He got it!! We love watching him concentrate and steer during the ride! |
Little bit of ice cream....
And we were in for a treat!
June 20th was the first time a full moon rose on the same day as the summer solstice since 1948! We won't see this again until 2111!
Next day we were back at the beach!
 |
| Michael failed at his job of applying sunscreen to Cameron's face the day before....Cam didn't seem to mind! |
 |
| "It's time for some digging!" |
 |
| Cameron is a great helper and offered to carry Allie's backpack (full of her Paw Patrol pups) to the beach for her! |
Michael got a little fancy with the camera...
 |
| No throwing sand! Unless it's for a cool picture... |
 |
| Cutest beach bum ever! |

We checked out Cape May Zoo again!
 |
| Finally got the kids all together! |
And of course had to spend some time under the boardwalk!
 |
| Yeah Rocck Flock!!! |
Unfortunately, our last day at the beach looked a little rainy. We decided to head halfway home and make a pit stop at the Please Touch Museum in Philly.
Little bit of astronaut play....
 |
| "Mommy! I'm not sure I want to go to the moon!" |
Grocery store area was a big hit!
 |
| Lots of fruit! |
Play kitchen was super fun....
 |
| Little Susie Homemaker |
 |
| Hot bread coming out! |
Cam loved driving all the trucks and trolleys!
 |
| Allie liked taking Daddy on lots of canoe rides! |
 |

 |
| Cam said, "My horse is fast!" |
