Shore Time

Well we made it up to NJ. Its normally a four hour drive and yet it ended up being six hours!! So we finally made it up there with two screaming kids. But not to fear the weather worked out so well for us. It was a fantastic time.

It took a little time but we found a store that sold kites and Lou and LV decided to try their hand at the beach flying it!!




Fun in the sand!!!

Down on the boardwalk...

A few pictures of LV riding the rides on the boardwalk. He was so excited to be on the rides. As he would ride one ride, he'd scope for his next ride to get on. It was a little hard to get him to stop....

Then LV had to stop to get his favorite food of all time. Gummi worms!!! You cannot see it in this picture but he's actually eating 1/4 of a lbs of a gummy snake!!! Yes, a gummi snake.

Then a few more rides....




The one ride that didn't cost any money....

Da Boat

Boating around Silver Bay was fantastic. The weather was perfect and both kids enjoyed themselves...



...and passed out.

Air And Space Museum

So our long awaited vacation arrived. We left early afternoon from Atlanta and got into Washington, DC very late on Friday morning. We got up, got ourselves together and got ready to go tour the Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC.
Mom took care of Nicole and Locke while the Lous went and toured the rockets, airplanes and such in the museum. They had changed quite a few things around and had added some new things too. LV really liked all these different carriers and we think enjoyed himself there. The picture of him with the Starship Enterprise was downstairs in the basement in the museum where they had a ton of educational 'toys' for kids. This is the model used in the Star Trek series.

Even though the little guy couldn't get much out of all the facts dad was telling him about each craft in there, LV enjoyed telling everyone about the airplanes, astronauts and rocketships he saw there. We cannot wait to go back to DC and experience this all over again!!!

Moose at Six Months

Nicole had her six month appointment already. She weighed in at 16 lbs 14 ounces and a lengthy 27 inches. That put her at 50% for weight and 90th for height. Again we are puzzled where we got such a long girl. I think its the taller genes from mom's side showing through which is odd because mom is only 5'2!!! She's growing like a weed though. Every day she tries to say more and more with her baby babble. She is sitting up for the most part. We're getting better at that in the bathtub which makes it easier on mom and also her bedtime schedule has been going a lot smoother. She has been going to bed a little earlier then her brother and then waking up once during the night which has made it easier on mom!!
