Our Week in Ocean City, NJ

We have spent the last week in a house by the beach in Ocean City, NJ. I found this beach online by searching "New Jersey's Best Family Beach." Ocean City popped right up and had been voted the best family beach for years and years. We concur. It is awesome- the boardwalk is perfect for walks and bike rides in the morning while all the shops, mini golf, and eateries are open for families in the early morning for those kids that are up bright and early! The beach was so much fun during the day but nothing could compare to the boardwalk at night when the rides were open for the kids. There was always plenty to see and do, and with it being a dry town, there was no partying high school or college kids to contend with. We plan to come back every summer. If you are looking for a week away with your family, we highly recommend Ocean City-- the one in our new state of New Jersey!!!!!!!!

I will start with the pictures of the kids on the rides and post some more of the beach later. Nicholas was so funny running around to all of the rides and measuring himself to see if he could ride alone! He was so proud of himself!

Daddy and Nick on the "big bumper cars."

Crash!

Mommy and Nate (who looks nothing like his mommy!)

Hi Daddy!

That was way too much fun!

Fire engines!

Both of our cousins came to spend some time with us.
We had bunches of fun!

I think Nick is ready for the Dumbo ride at Disney, don't you?

Daddy rode with Nate.

Nate's favorite person is his daddy.

Nick had a blast!

We found more rides the second night! There are two whole piers filled with rides.

Hey Mr. Dave- Look, I am a marine!

Nick's first solo roller coaster with his new found friend Douglas.

Now, Gillian's Wonderland Pier had a Nascar Speedway for the kids. Nicholas went bananas over this so it needs its own section! He could not believe he could ride his favorite racecars even in NJ!






Will post more pictures of us on the beach soon. Love you all- keep on praying for us. We leave for Mount Laurel, NJ tomorrow for 11 more nights before we get into our house!
