4 Seconds A Day: September 2013

Wish Floated Up To The Night

Waiting For The Waves To Smack 'Em

Ever Play Pit?

Lives On The Beach

Aunt And Uncle Bounce Abuse

What Rises Must Set

 This time it was the sunset, and I think we picked the right place for the best view

 Neat WWII lookout tower on the beach

 Uncle Vic and Yuula taking heed of eye protection

 Family

This was probably the best moment

hung out to throw stones

Y.O. & D.J.

 apparently she has a pose now

and she's sticking with it

then she got crazy

finally a smile

carried away

Gifts In The Afternoon

The rest of the afternoon day two was a mixed bag of randomness. Yuula got a crisp fiver for her birthday from her great aunt and uncle in Ohio and we let her spend it on whatever she wanted. Luck have it, we passed a yard sale and spotted a sweet little scooter, and wouldn't you know it five bucks.

We headed down to Washington Square for some window shopping and picking up trinkets for the kids. Yuula made off with a stuffed whale, orange rubber duck and a butterfly finger puppet. Laura got fudge. I got nothing.

We had to teach her about wishing fountains and that the money is meant to be thrown INTO the water and not taken OUT.

We did manage to take a ice cream break. Kohr's has total control over me.

After that we made a short visit back to the beach. I pretty much spent the entire time floating in the waves, unheard of really, so I'll have to ask Melissa if she got any nice photos for us.

We got this.

After that we made a lightning quick visit to the Cape May Brewery to try and get Dad drunk and came home with a pair or growlers. Souvenir!

Judee Draws The Line In The Sand

no literally...

the girl was not having it

But good thing the "dog" beach can also function as a "kid" beach, because Yuula had a blast

Judee was content to sit AS CLOSE AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE and watch the waves

Same Sun, Different Crew

Okay, where were we...

 Sunrise, day two

This time we woke up the child, who put up no fight, and dragged out the grands

 Yuula loves a good sunrise, but is not crazy about cold sand

 

This was another blinding sunset for us

And quick

This will be remembered as the morning Yuula peed on a rock

and then we rode....

We Can Get Loud

 Still on the first day in Cape May, after we were good and sunburnt and sandmouther we packed up and set out to find the dog/nude beach. It was well hidden, as dog/nude beaches are, but we didn't have any dogs. So...

j/k

Back to the house where the kids played well into the night and table games encompassed the evening's entertainment. Mad Gab, Scattergories and Pit. Lots of screaming and yelling. It's what we do best.

After everyone was fully exhausted and gone to bed, Laura, Tyler & I went downstairs for the fastest ping pong tournament ever conceived. 

I don't know who won. It may have been the ball.

Best Beaching To Date

I think you can figure it out...

Probably the longest I've spent on a beach, definitely the most enjoyable
