More from the shore, week 2 off the beach!

During our second week at the shore, Evan, Josh, Aunt Erin, Uncle Kyle and Grampy all came.  Sophie and Noah were excited to see them!

Tackle!

There were lots of sports.  Lacrosse anyone.

Noah was just chill in' racing the morning newspaper.

And Sophie and Grampy were having a tickle fight.

Breakfast anyone?  Sure, if it include donuts (or "DoDo's" as Sophie says)

Speaking of DoDos

We did lots of things off the beach.  On our way to the boardwalk.

Ride em Sophie.  She loved the Merry Go Round

Looks like a tie guys.  Hey, where's mom??

Starting early.

One morning we all went to the boardwalk to ride a Surrey.  That's the way to travel, huh Soph?

Race ya!

We had the smaller Surrey

View from the front.

Thanks for sharing Noah

While the boys played miniature golf, David, Grampy and Sophie went to Shriver's and got some fresh made salt water taffy...and a chocolate covered Sophie...I mean a chocolate covered pretzel.

Then on to ride the go carts.

More pictures from the shore soon.

Lots of pictures from the Shore, week 1

Hi, from the Jersey Shore, 2012!  Just thought we'd share a bunch of pictures from a geat vacation with family!   

Glad that Max could join us, even if just for a few days.

All the boys playing their electronics.

Easy transportation, huh?

Hi Auntie Marci

Snacking on the patio.

Snacking on the couch

Fun at the amusement park

Here they come

And really tired out after a long busy day. 

Some time at the park with our little monkey

Nite nite nanny.

Nite nite Poppy.

Having lots of laughs and giggles.

And there was donuts just about every morning.  Sophie calls them "Dodo's"

There was some intense WAR card games all week.

Who's winning?

Smile

Everyone got dressed up for a picture.  Unfortunately Sophie wouldn't sit for a picture.

More pictures of girls on the beach.

Oh my!!

Just hanging out on the patio reading a book

More fun beach pictures soon

Guess what she wants.

This little video deserves it's own blog.  Just on video.  See if you can understand what Sophie is asking for.

Karate Picnic and more.

Noah's Karate had a picnic at Ridley Creek State Park, and we all went.  Noah, Sophie, David, Kathy and Grampy.  

Sophie had as much fun as anyone.   

Noah got in the middle of a water balloon fight.  Look out!

Back at home, our little monkey had to get closer to the TV.  So she moved her dinosaur cycle over, and if you look, you will she she is standing up on the handle bars...

Is this called a "babushka"?

Very ethnic!

Hanging out in the summer...

We spent a few weekends just hanging around Philadelphia.  First we had to make sure the house was clean.

A good lunch...

And some play time.  This is a new baseball pinball game that Nanny and Poppy sent Noah.

Then out to the treehouse to enjoy the summer breeze.

We went to Lancaster 2 weeks ago.  This was a great park Noah likes to play at.  That's him in the green shirt.

We see you, silly!

Check out this form.  Sophie already seems to love playing soccer.  She naturally knows how to dribble and trap the ball.

The next day we went to the Franklin Institute.  There was so much to do.  Noah was watching a science show, and Sophie and Kathy were watching from the stairs.  

Noah and Sophie sat in a fighter jet.

And Noah was getting a feel for what is was like to be a jet, and have wings.

Then on to the SS Franklin.

This was a long day.  Little Sophie was exhausted on the way home.  Night night Sophie.

We'll see you all soon.
