The Jersey Shore

On Friday we decided to visit the Jersey Shore! Even though they were predicting a chance of rain we decided to chance it. It was cloudy but not cold or windy. We had practically the entire beach to ourselves. We had a great time. I found a large horse shoe crab that the guys all had a great time photographing and poking. I think there might have been an actual autopsy done on it! It provided a lot of entertainment.

Those of us who were not involved in the autopsy found fun in collecting shells, digging in the sand and chasing the waves.

Here is Stacy and the kids. At first Cailin was afraid to put her feet on the sand but she warmed up to the idea as long as she had her shoes on.

Digging a pit!

I had a lot of fun trying to outrun the waves with Sammie and Ben. They caught us a few times!

After our fun time at the shore we washed off all the sand we could and put the kids in clean sandless pants and headed for the zoo. It was a free zoo. I couldn't get over what a nice zoo it was and it was free!

At the Zoo!
