This weekend my brothers and I all met down in Sea Isle City with our families to hang out for the weekend. Everyone went down on Friday night except for us because Zoe had her first gymnastics class at 9:00am on Saturday morning. It was a good thing we didn't skip it because she loved it. I took a couple of pictures with my cell phone of her hanging on the bars.
Right after class, we had the car loaded up and hit the road. We made it down to Sea Isle just after 11am. Once we got down there, Zoe needed a nap, and, apparently, so did her uncles because they were sleeping too. After everyone got up, the kids hung out for a little while in the house.
Now that everyone was nice and awake, we packed up a whole bunch of stuff, along with the kids, and headed over to the beach. The kids seemed to really enjoy the beach. There was sand, water and birds for everyone.
There was even some off-road driving, which everyone enjoyed.
At one point, Uncles Joe and Andy decided to start building a sand castle. Zoe wanted to make sure that they did it right, so she jumped right in to "help".
Of course, with Zoe's oversight, the castle became a throne for her royal highness. She said that it was comfortable, but a bit gritty and thought it could use some water.
After all of that hard work, it was time to relax. There's no better way to do that then chasing birds. Then, after you're relaxed, you feed the birds.
When feeding birds, Zoe recommends turning to the side. This way, you present a smaller target. Either way, all of the babies loved being held by their mothers while they were at the beach.
The next morning we went to the park. Zoe is still terrified of the swings, even though Harlie showed her how fun they are. She did swing with her mother and laughed at the big kids.
Later that day, Zoe's uncles, aunts and cousins rented a big bike and took a ride. Since Zoe hates being seated, and there was no room, we opted to skip the ride. Apparently it was a bit taxing on some of the peddlers.
While the house was being cleaned up, I used taking pictures of the kids as an excuse to get out of doing my fair share of the work. Honestly through, I'm far better with a camera than I am with a vacuum. Just look at these gems.
That Uncle Andy, he's such a good influence. Needless to say, everyone had a good time over the weekend. Next summer Zoe is definitely going into the ocean. Now there are 34 pictures here from the beach; however, there are 83 split among Zoe's, Harlie's and Hank's sets on Flickr. You'd be a fool not to check that out.
