Beach Baby



You will be spending a lot of time at the beach this summer. Well not ON the beach, but at the beach house. Your dad and I are not huge fans of sitting on a hot crowded beach but we do love walking on it in the spring and fall, or early summer morning. And so do the dogs! From October-May the beach is open to  dogs and seeing as this was the last weekend before it closed off we decided to take a trip down there to let your doggie brother and sister run around. 


They love nothing more then to run free on the beach like wild dogs!


Pancake was digging.. for gold maybe?

Your daddy relaxing- isn't he handsome?


A view from the top. Fortunately i can still see my feet when i lean over. 


Everyone was pooped when we got back to the house! It made for a nice afternoon. 


I have spent almost every summer of my existence visiting the Jersey Shore so it has come to be a very special place for me. Your dad even asked me to marry him while we were walking along the shore one night. 


We spend the summers going for boat rides, and on jet ski trips (when youre older). Fishing and attempting to crab (even though there don't seem to be many left along the shore anymore). We take trips into Stone Harbor to walk around the shops and enjoy some Springers Ice Cream. Occasionally we will venture off and spend the morning or evening playing on the beach. We walk around the boardwalk at night and enjoy cotton candy (watch the tram-car will become part of your vocabulary very quickly). And fireworks can be seen over the ocean from the back deck every friday night. 


What's not to love? Your dad has already taken off a week in August so that we can all be down there together and you and I have several days planned hanging out on grandma and grandpa joe's back deck watching the boats go by. Are you excited yet? I am.
