Anyhoo, one of the many trips we made this past summer was up to New Jersey to visit the family of one of Dad’s coworkers. They’re a great family and a lot of fun! They’ve got five boys, so it does get kind of stinky, but it’s fun! (; We stayed a whole week, and on one of the days we went to Ocean City and hung out at the beach with four of their five boys.
Dad didn’t come because he had to work, but he would have hated the crowd. He’s more of a mountain guy anyway.
For lunch, we got one of these huge pizzas!
If you eat the entire thing in record time, you win 25o free pizzas! The current record is 11 minutes!
No thank you. I’ll leave that to the pros. …Are there professional pizza eaters?
We found a space on the crowded beach, and set up our umbrella as quickly as we could, because the sand was so hot!
The water was extremely cold, so Joel buried himself in sand. A logical solution.
Yes, I know my sunglasses are crooked. But isn’t that a great picture? :)
Here’s the whole group, minus mom. (From left to right) In the back: Me, Josh, David; Middle: Silas, Joel, Isaac; and Stephen’s in the front.
After we finished on the beach, we got some saltwater taffy from the boardwalk, and free samples of fudge!
Mom also got to visit a friend from college while we were in New Jersey!
Mr. and Mrs. A took us on a very uphill hike to a rock looking over the Delaware River. The kind of rock that freaks moms out. It had a great view though!
Look! Everyone survived!
There’s our lovely hosts, Mr. and Mrs. A!
More freaking-out-Mom stuff…
Of course we couldn’t leave without shooting their guns…
My first time! I wasn’t too bad at it, if I do say so myself…
Dad was good at it too! He shot a clay pigeon in the air, and ended with that.
We had a great time in New Jersey with the A’s! Hopefully we can see them again soon; maybe here in TN!
