I'm starting back where I left off - the beginning of August. Not because you're all dying to see pics of our vacation, but partly because I'm trying to keep up with this blog as a sort of journal of memories. Just like last year in Ocean City, NJ, we were blessed with perfect weather every day. My sister and brother-in-law, my niece Natalee and the four of us all had a great time. Of course, right? It was vacation, duh!
Eric squeezed on the little helicopter with Shay and Natalee.

My aunt, my cousin and her little girls came to visit for a night.


We dug a big hole and made a little pool on the beach. That was fun and I worked long and hard with all the girls on it and another sweet little girl we met on the beach UNTIL I saw some gross little swimming worm things in there. That was it for me. Another reminder of why I don't go in water I can see my feet in. Yuck.

Ayla, Shay and Natalee loved flying the kite.



Ayla had been, coincidentally, asking me for a few weeks before vacation when she was going to see a rainbow. It rained for three minutes once on vacation and we got this view of a rainbow over the ocean from our deck.
