Ocean City Vacation

Last week Mary, Catie, and I joined Rick, Jen, and Carley for a week down de ocean, hon! It was Catie's first trip and she had a full week of the beach, the pool, the boardwalk, skee ball, and putt putt.

It started out rough...a stomach virus is not what you want mere hours before going on vacation! But we rallied and some of us even made it down to the beach on the first day (way to go Rick and Carley!) Of course, there was the aftermath...

By Day 2, we were ready to head to the beach...a little windy but BEAUTIFUL!

Did I say a little windy? Jon keeping our canopy from blowing over. Yes, we do learn from experience ;-)

Catie got her first beach and ocean experience.

I don't know Dad...

water's kinda cold...

Think I'll just hang out in the pool with Mom :-)

Well if Carley's doing it...

Must not be so bad!

We had lots of fun in the pool...

Carley has the best faces!

Catie even got used to the water.

We had fun at the boardwalk playing games. Our personal favorite is skee-ball. We got enough tickets that Carley walked away with the most awesome junk! I think she got a squishy caterpillar, a toy helicopter, 3 dinosaurs and 2 squishy pigs.

Catie was all tuckered out from mini-golf and the boardwalk.

Carley hit up the rides.

Too cool!

Catie got used to the water and had some fun with Mom and Dad.

Too cheesy Mom!

Last but not least...we stopped at our favorite breakfast place, Bayside Skillet. It's home of the neverending supply of strawberry paraphernalia...you can see it on the coffee mugs in the picture below, and trust me that's just the beginning!

Bye Ocean City! We'll miss you!

On the way home...
