We met up with the grandparents around 11 and despite the growing humidity and heat and a sleepy baby we hit the Point Pleasant, and tried to spark a little life into Yuula with a nice bowl of ice cream.
It kind of worked.
Then we dragged her over to the rides to see if we could scar her for life a little.
The first attempt was the merry-go-round, but just the bench.
She was horrified but managed to crack a little smile each time we circled around to the familiar old people shouting her name.
Then it was time for a train ride.
Still not crazy about it but maybe it was because of the creepy lifeless penguin that was hitching a ride.
The most successful go around was surprisingly the flying elephants.
She actually cracked a few smiles and maybe even laughed once or twice.
When the elephants came to a halt she yelled 'more!' so we thought we'd give the merry-go-round another go round but this time on horseback.
She was suspect but she survived.
A near catastrophe was averted when I was able to rescue bunny from certain death...
or at least sandy fur.
Grandma and Grandpa took the reigns and we held back for a little breather.
And what better way to finish off a day on the boardwalk than some topless dining.
Everyone else seemed to be doing it.
