We went down to Sea Isle for our second week of vacation and it was just as good as the first one, but it didn't start off that well. In order to get an early start to the week, we drove down on Sunday afternoon. Arriving while the sun was still up, I decided to take Zoe to the beach with her new kite. One thing lead to another and I was standing in the ocean, up to my knees, holding Zoe in a diaper in one hand and her kite and clothes in the other. In this vulnerable position she reached up, snatched my glasses from my face and threw them in to the ocean. After much crying and pouting, the next morning I got an eye exam and a new pair of glasses.
After all of that, we had a great time playing at the park. It's great to have such a nice playground just a few blocks from the house. While she loves climbing up the little rock wall and sliding down the slides, her favorite, by far, is the swings, which she likes to ride both regular and silly style.
Shoobie's, which is a diner in town, has a number of theme meals for children. One of them was dinner with Anna and Elsa from Frozen. Zoe literally squealed with excitement when she saw the two of them coming in from the rain.
Of course, as you can see, once they were actually in the room and came over to our table to speak with us, Zoe clammed up. She still posed for a picture, kind of, after she was bribed with a lollipop. After that, as per usual, we made our way to Yum Yum for some ice cream. Zoe was a pro at eating everyone's ice cream but her own.
We also took some time to rent a surrey and ride it up and down the promenade. It is amazing how difficult it is to pedal one of those things by yourself when two adorable freeloaders are riding with you.
After going to Wildwood the last time we were down the shore, we decided to try a more relaxed boardwalk. Ocean City was great. There weren't as many boardwalk games, but there were lots of rides and most of them were great for little kids. We were able to get a few good pictures.
When I went to get my new glasses, we made our way past Storybook Land. After a little research and some planning, we took a day to check out this miniature Disney World in New Jersey. It was a great place with lots of rides.
And yes, that is Cheryl and Zoe taking Zoe's first roller coaster ride. When we did make it to the beach, Zoe would come back to the house and want to rinse off. She would do this outside, after stripping off her suit. You have to understand, she hates getting water in her face at home, but apparently does not mind if it is done right out in public.
That last one there is part of one of the new things she does. She'll say, "Now do a bear," and then hold her hands up and growl. It's funny because she'll also say, "Now do a lion," which is the same exact motions as the bear.
So that was our trip. It was awesome and you would be a fool to not check out the set on Flickr with even more great pictures, including this little gem.
