Ocean City, NJ - Vacation 2011

The week before last Craig, Sammie & I joined Craig's family for our annual trip to the Jersey Shore. The weather was perfect and we had a wonderful time. Craig & Dave had a surf board that they tried out, and they had fun doing it.

Sammie enjoyed lots of snuggle time with her Grandma Sue.

And naps on Daddy!

She loved the ocean and the sand, she picked up shells, and little mini baby clams, and seaweed... anything she could find. We took lots of walks by the waves & she always tried to get them.

It was great to spend so much quality time together as a family.

SPLASH!

I made Sammie a hole in the sand, to "contain" her ... it was short lived

This is Sammie's beach cabana where she took all her naps, she loved sleeping at the beach

We all had a fantastic week of vacation, fun and relaxation. It was perfect!

Happy 4th of July!

We moved into our new house on Friday. It was a few days later than expected, but that's all behind us now. We love our new home. Sammie, Cash & Pepper love it too. We've managed to get most of our things unpacked & are adjusting to the new space.

We didn't waste any time breaking in the pool. On Friday morning right after we got the keys Craig, Bob & I tested it out. It was fabulous!

Sammie loves her new float - she splashes and plays in the water.

We all worked hard this weekend, but we made sure to fit in some naptime too.

Monday we had a 4th of July party/Craig's birthday celebration. Bob brought Gabe over & he loves the water, he & "baby 'ammie" had a great time playing together.

What a great weekend to move into our new home - we are looking forward to years of fun here.
