Ocean City New Jersey

The first Sunday of summer break started with a day at the shore. Eve and Tessa left early Saturday with the Gladieux family, with whom we met up with on Sunday to enjoy the day with. My mom, sister and Ian also joined in on the adventure, for after all, we are an adventure, or so we are told by many who join us on such adventures with! It was gorgeous weather, a bit of a cool feisty wind, but that did not stop any of us to enjoy hours on the beach. Even Aspen enjoyed the day and was no where near cranky, even though he so wanted to stretch his legs and crawl around. The water to start off with was cold, but you got used to it fairly fast. Blue skies, bountiful sunlight and huge crashing white waves were out view for the day. It was a very beautiful day~one that I will forever cherish the memories that were made!

I believe out there is Ryder, Scott, Eve, Sarah, Dawson, Tessa and Sophia. They were out pretty far on the sand bar and really enjoyed jumping waves out there.

Aspen really loved it. We thought the water would be too cold for him. It probably would have been, but I could not resist to put his chubby little feet in, needless to say, he loved it and we should have given him the chance to sit in it. Another trip this summer perhaps?

Sawyer and Leif~they were too funny in the water together!

After a refresh back at the Gladieux house, we all headed for the boardwalk. Well, the beach beckoned us again and we fell for it! This was my favorite moment of the day......

The end to a gorgeous day!

On another note, Aspen is now pulling up. Yes, pulling himself up to a standing position! He just may beat Ryder's record of walking at nine and a half months....to be continued........
