Back from the Beach

We just got back from a wonderful week at our favorite vacation spot, Ocean City, New Jersey.  I’m still going through all the pictures, but I’ll leave you with these images that sum up our time there. 

Lots of Family:

Parlor Seating

Dad, remember all your comments about those ice cream parlor pictures I posted last summer featuring a pink bench?

Well, the bench has been replaced by some colorful Adirondack chairs, but the ice cream is still just as yummy!

It’s Coming Along

Jim’s still plugging away at the swing set in the back yard.  It’s quite a bit more advanced than the pictures below – he’s made some great progress in the past few weekends.  I’m still not sure whether the girls’ eager insistence on being outside with him while he works is a help or a hindrance, but it keeps them all busy!

Boxed Up

My Dad always told me that a box is the best toy you can get your kids.

I think he was right!

I dragged some boxes out into the yard on a hot day a while back, and told the girls to “play house.”  They decided that playing house consisted of pretending to nap.  Sounded good to me!

Car Seat

The girls may be too big for their old infant car seat, but that doesn’t stop them from trying it on for size!
