Today we took a day trip to Ocean City, NJ with Am-mom, Pop and Aunt Alicia (“She-sha” as Stephie says). First we drove down to Am-mom and Pop’s house. Stephie proceeded to tell Pop “we’re going to the beach. To Ocean City.” He found it humorous to take directions from a 2 year old. When we got there little John was so excited to get to the ocean. He wanted nothing to do with the sand, just right to the water. He stayed there splashing in the waves for so long that his fingers and toes got all wrinkled. The adults had to take shifts going into the water to watch him. We had to bribe him to come out by telling him we were going to the pool to have lunch. Even then he only wanted a few bites and it was back into the pool. He loved swimming with his noodle and swim vest. He even met a little friend “Matt” and started teaching him how to swim with the noodle in the kiddie pool.
Stephie didn’t care too much for the water. She only wanted to play in the sand and make mud pies. She kept telling everyone to go get her more water with the buckets. She was more interested in lunch but then enjoyed splashing around in the baby pool. She liked throwing her bucket into the adult part of the pool and then saying “uh-oh, my bucket fell in the water”. Then we would have to rescue it. This was cute the first few times and then it got old.
Then after a much needed nap we all went to dinner. At the restaurant rest room, little John met a friend Jacob. They had a very long conversation between the stalls as they were both doing their thing. We heard all about Jacob’s kindergarten class and John’s new classroom pre-school 5. We also heard about both John and Jacob’s soccer teams. It was quite humorous.
After dinner we went to the boardwalk. There we were surprised to see Max and Jack from preschool who were also in vacation in Ocean City. We rode many rides including the carousel (Stephie wanted to “ride the horsies”), train, antique cars, helicopters, pelican log flume (Stephie didn’t care for), dragon whirl (Mommy didn’t care for), and balloon ride (both Am-mom and Stephie didn’t care for). Then we went back to the hotel to sleep. It was a very busy and fun day. But John-John said “it is a shame Daddy was not here. He really would have liked it.”
Well, the Phillies have gone completely belly up (no surprise) and I have abandoned my willingness to invest time in getting upset each night. So with the football season officially underway last night, it’s time for the annual exercise for Eagles fans: Win? / Loss?
