Summer's Finale

We just returned from being in Ocean City for the last 2 weeks. We had great weather and made some great memories! We did all of our favorites activities and tried some new ones too! It's hard to believe summer is coming to an end! We stayed until the very last second - school starts tomorrow morning and we got home tonight! :o) Although it's sad that rest and relaxation is coming to and end, we are all needing some sort of a routine other than sitting by the pool during the week and sitting on the beach on weekends! Did I mention that I LOVE summer!

Tennis has become one of the kids new favorite activities. They are both enjoying learning the basics and since we have courts less than 1 block from our house - we played tennis often.

Two friends of mine came to visit one bay - here are ALL the kids! What a fun day!

Jacob tried to dig to china one day! This was by far the deepest hole he's done 100% on his own!

Allison discovered that the beach is a great place to catch some zzz's!

What vacation in OC would be complete without some rides! Abby got to join in on the fun, too!

We also had the opportunity to perfect our mini-golf game on the boardwalk one day!

The kids learned how to play Bocce Ball. This became an daily favorite activity!

We tried Crabbing for the first time. We first went to this very secluded spot on the island. We waited, and waited and waited some more, but not even a bite!

So... we changed our location and went to my dad's dock... and presto... a crab! We caught 3 "keeper" Blue Claw crabs and cooked them for dinner! I'm happy to say that both kids tried them and "think" they like crabs!

It became very clear to me this weekend that I now have 3 kids to watch in the water! They all had a blast boogie boarding this week - the waves were HUGE! Allison did her best to keep up with the "boys" and took quite a beating out there but never gave up!

One last shot of the life gaurd boat! Till next year........!
