Adele arrived at the appointed hour
IMG_1314
and left the umbrella and boogie board
IMG_1315
for the trip. Then we noticed the milk
IMG_1316
that had arrived the day before and sat in 98 degrees all day which
was unfortunate but Carolyn and Lucy arrived
IMG_1317
to lift our spirits away from this darkness
IMG_1318
so that we could pack the car
IMG_1319
and travel on until the train came
IMG_1320
to Point Pleasant to block our progress.
IMG_1321
After the short delay, we quickly parked the car
IMG_1322
and spoke to the ticket seller
IMG_1323
before finding parking down the street
IMG_1324
and bringing our worldly possessions to the beach where Nathaniel and Benjamin
IMG_1325
dug a swimming pool while Jane, Kaylen and Lucy swam
IMG_1326
and we admired the sand castles
IMG_1327
IMG_1328
that had gone before. The girls kept swimming
IMG_1329
as the fortress grew
IMG_1330
and the digging continued.
IMG_1331
But before long, everyone
IMG_1332
was hungry, so we got a dining recommendation
IMG_1333
and used the facilities but this sign
IMG_1334
kept us honest about not changing our clothes as we headed down the
boardwalk
IMG_1335
to this place
IMG_1336
where the hot dogs
IMG_1337
and cheese fries
IMG_1338
and nuggets
IMG_1339
and world's worst calzone
IMG_1340
made it easy to qualify
IMG_1341
for the clean plate club.
After a lunchtime picture on the boardwalk,
IMG_1342
we went back to wave jumping
IMG_1343
IMG_1344
IMG_1345
IMG_1347
IMG_1348
IMG_1349
by the boys with this very fancy jump
IMG_1346
by Ben and wave riding
IMG_1350
by the girls. There were a few things that had to be recorded like
this lady's hat
IMG_1351
the life guard's stand
IMG_1352
the girl's card game
IMG_1353
and this guys NY Yankees ink
IMG_1354
before we decided to take our umbrella out of the crowd
IMG_1355
and head off to the boardwalk where I could achieve great wonders at SkeeBall
IMG_1356
(a score so how it has to be blanked out) and the girls could win
IMG_1357
valuable prizes.
On the way back, there was no train
IMG_1358
and so this was the intersection to be recorded.
