Growing up, our family always went to Ocean City, NJ. It's close enough to even just do a day trip. This year, we had to wake the boys up in order to leave by 7am (probably one of the 2 days in the whole summer that they actually didn't wake up at their usual of 6:30am!). We were on the boardwalk riding bikes and surreys (the big cart-like thing pictured below) by 9:30am! In the mornings, the boardwalk is full of bikes, surreys, runners, and walkers! This year we rented one bike that my mom and I took turns riding while the other 2 adults pedaled the surrey.
The actual beach at OCNJ is always quite crowded (at least compared to the Outer Banks), but we found a great spot and ate our packed picnic lunch. Levi had a great time using the squirters with my dad. I love the picture where you can see him looking up just laughing!
My dad taught Wyatt how to "boogie board". Wyatt loved it!
This year, we bought another hermit crab. This year, little Lightening Bolt only lived about 2 weeks ;-( Levi had not stopped asking when he could pick out a crab since the moment his feet touched the boardwalk. Surprisingly, he was not too upset when "LB" died. Thank goodness!
Skee Ball!! Everyone in our family loves skee ball! At the boardwalk, we found this arcade that has 10 cent skee ball! We spent a lot of time here before dinner!
This picture is out of order, but while we were riding the surrey, Wyatt said he wanted to get out and run in the "running lane". He ran for about 1 minute and then wanted to get back in the surrey and just ride!
The boys had fun digging a big hole with Papa. We had perfect weather for a day at the NJ "shore" (as the northerners call the beach)
