"Good Morning"

Tonight we laid Carson down earlier than normal because with church being in the middle of the afternoon he often goes without sleep on Sundays. Sorry, back to the story. After our normal bedtime routine he was in his room for less than ten minutes when I start to hear some rustling so I walked down the hallway and could see that his door was still shut-tricky- but I can still hear something and it wasn't coming from his room. I found him in the baby's room (aka his old room) playing with the rocks in the fake tree. His back was facing me and I walked up to him and when he saw me he smiled big and said, "good morning! good morning!" repeatedly as if that was going to change the fact that it was still bedtime.

Gotta love him.

Day 3, packing up

The last day came much too soon.

Next year we'll have to make the rip at least one day longer.

Rambo and the Tree Hugger, in Carson's defense he was pretending the bark was a phone.

After breakfast we packed up camp and some left and the rest of us headed down to the beach before taking off.

Strike a pose.

No shower for three days, check. Bed head, check. Loving the beach, check, check.


We are so glad that we have such awesome friends and that we got to spend the last of our summer days with them in such a beautiful place.

"See ya!"

Part two, The Boardwalk

That night we headed for The Boardwalk. Everything was .75 cents, rides, hot dogs, drinks, churros and cotton candy, it was awesome!

There's just something about the beach that I love...the colors in pictures are always so vivid!

It was so fun to be there with good friends!

Checking the place out

First rides

Carson begged to go on the airplane ride but at first we didn't think that it had seat belts so we had him try to whale ride first. When he did ride on the airplane he and his co-pilot didn't know how to move the airplane up and down so they flew low.

The second ride his co-pilot was a little older and got the plane to ride high. As you can tell he wasn't looking at the camera so she helped him by holding his face, a little aggressive but thanks!

Two was the magic number because he rode all three rides twice. The first time we went on the Merry-go Round the operators took forever to get going so he got a little scared and wanted me to stand next to him so that he could cling to my neck...I got a good leg workout going up and down for the entire ride.

Boardwalk, thanks for the memories, thediscount prices, the food, and for not letting any of the rides break on us because we really appreciated leaving safely. Now if you could only work on the parking outside the park, that would be great.
