July Thus Far...

July has been a fun month at home so far. We are leaving Tuesday to see Baby Sophia, so I thought I should post before we leave since I am pretty sure we will be dedicating the blog to her when we get home :) Here is our July so far... this summer is going by fast!

PGA Tour of Ocean City

Nicholas and Gaga became golfing buddies on our trip, and it was all Nicholas wanted to do everyday. He loved every second of it with Gaga. So, this post is dedicated to Nicholas and his PGA Tour of Ocean City Mini Golf Courses :)

A quote....

I will post one final blog on our trip to Ocean City tomorrow. However, this vacation has left me with so many wonderful memories of my children. In one of the gift shops, I saw this quote and it summed up our lives as parents of young children and wanted to share it with you--

"You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around- and why his parents will always wave back."

Thank you Jersey Shore for giving us such sweet and happy memories with our children. Thank you for letting us relax and enjoy the moments we make into memories.

Nate and the Many Treats of Ocean City

Nate explored all the sweet treats that Ocean City had to offer. Nicholas was a big fan of the food too, but I decided to dedicate this blog to all things Nate and his sweet tooth. Stay tuned tomorrow for "Nick and the Many Mini-Golf Courses of Ocean City!!"

Never could you help Nate with his cone, oh never! All by himself!

Notice Nate has the caramel corn bucket on his lap, no one else could hold it!

Happy as a clam after his ice cream!


Notice Nate has a cone of his own but Papa had to share his too!


Nate and Nick holding their big salt water taffy balloons.

Nate and the Taffy Man... He hopped out of the stroller, ran straight to him, and said "cheese."
UNBELIEVABLE!


Super cute eating his ice cream again.


The sly side smile shows his true self.

And Finally,,,, the beach!

And why do you go to the shore???? THE BEACH! Here are some great beach shots of our family on the shore!










Very Fun Mornings

Mornings in Ocean City consisted of Matt and Liz running on the boardwalk with Nate while Nick rode his bike or played golf with Gaga. One morning, we rented Nick a special fun car to pedal. Another morning we rented a surrey and then went to the Go Kart track. Those mornings were extra fun! Take a look!
Nick and his big car...

... he had a blast!

Fine Family on a surrey!


Nate with that look in his eyes!


Even Gaga and Uncle Mark raced!


Nick and Matt racing away!


Nick is having the time of his life!


"Children who do not meet height requirement ride free with an adult."
Nate didn't meet the requirement, but I bet he will next year!!
