The rest of the week was jam packed as well. On the second day the Carusos came down from Long Beach Island to spend the day at the beach with us. I had purchased a small, inflatable raft and the kids really liked riding it over the waves. That is, until they bumped heads.
After that we just spent some time digging and playing in the sand, as well as doing a little Ring Around the Rosey in the ocean. Once we washed off outside, we got into some dry clothes and headed to the boardwalk. The kids enjoyed playing some games and riding the rides.
The next day we just happened to go to the library and they were having a superhero day with activities for kids. Zoe wanted to get her face painted and we have never seen her sit so still in her entire life. She loved the butterfly and was happy to jump into the ocean with it.
Thankfully there weren't any tears when the saltwater completely washed it away. Cheryl's friend Amy also paid us a visit with her husband Graham and daughter Sloane. Zoe and Sloane really enjoyed playing together at the beach.
It was really great to meet them and spend some time at the beach. Later in the week we drove up to LBI to hang with the Carusos again. There was lots of fun on the beach as the kids again enjoyed playing in the sand and surf.
We finished up the week by meeting the Carusos in Ocean City to ride some rides. There were mixed emotions about certain rides, but the girls seemed to really like the spinning balloons, even if it did make me feel queasy.
It was great to have a chance to meet up with some many friends during the week. I know we all really enjoyed getting to see so many folks and Zoe really liked having friends her own age to play with at the beach.
