Ocean City

Last weekend jumped in the car and hit the beach! We decided we better take advantage of the nice weather while it lasted. Ocean City is only about an hour away from us, a pretty easy drive, but I don't think that I will ever get used to toll roads. It seems so foreign to have to pay to drive on the road. Anyway, I guess one of many things to get used to, but it was a small price to pay to enjoy the ocean and beach.
The weather was still kind of cool, so we didn't put the kids in their swimming suits. We waded in the ocean, chased birds, and played in the sand... ohh.. and mom got a nap! It was awesome, I could hang out there everyday all day. They were having an airshow there the next day and all the planes were out practicing for the next day, so we got a little bit of an airshow too. But, of course Jared can't sit still for too long, so we took a stroll along the boardwalk. We enjoyed so soft pretzels and water ice (it is similar to a slushy but not so watery, you can swirl it with ice cream and it is pretty dang good). We also had to get some salt water taffy that I must say was the best taffy I have ever had. Needless to say, you can eat yourself sick if you want to. The kids were exhausted by the time we left. It was a fantastic day trip and I left wanting to buy a beach house!


Jared and the kids on the boardwalk, it is off season so it wasn't very busy, best time to go.

This scenery makes me feel like I should have the kids dressed in sailor outfits, okay I wouldn't do that to them. But I really did love the fence!
After watching me squat down to take pictures with them, Tate feels like he should too.
Bentli enjoyed writing her name in the sand and collecting sea shells, she was pretty pumped when I told her she could take some home.

Our sandy little boy, it was when he sat down in the water that I decided we probably should have done the swim suits even though we weren't getting in. His shorts were drying and he ran around in a diaper. I guess that is how our parents did it, right?
