Off to Seaside

Two Sunday's ago we headed down to Tony's Aunt Maria's shore house in Seaside Park. We went to celebrate her 50th birthday!

Gracie and Andy

Getting ready for softball.

Playing catch with Daddy.

I brought these delicious chocolate covered apples from this great chocolate shop in Long Branch. I told Tony for my birthday I just want these apples. No cake just a box of chocolate covered apples. They were so yummy. Let's see if he remembers.

The birthday girl getting her birthday crown.

Great Aunt Maria and her great-nephews and niece.

This girl is all about fruit. She LOVES any kind of fruit and would eat it all day if I let her.

I knew she would really love these "special apples."

Great Grams, Great Uncle Mike and Gracie

She loves bracelets. Anytime I have a bracelet on she wants it. She even loves hair bands

around her wrists. It's a little obsession. Aunt Kat comes over and always has bracelets on. Grace takes them immediately and starts playing with them. She's so cute.

My little princess.

Time to dress up Daddy :)

On the way to the boardwalk.

JR is pushing Grace on the boards.

Tony's brother Jimmy and Aunt Maria went on this crazy ride on the boardwalk.

They were pulled up very high, Jimmy pulled a string and they flew over the water on this string.

Time for the Ferris Wheel.

The only reason I went on this one is because the carts were gated in.

It was still so scary. I couldn't look down. Grace had no fear. She loved it!

Here she is looking down to the water.

I love her little thighs in this picture.

They are so adorable!

Andy came on the ride with us.

Here he is keeping Grace safe. He's such a great cousin!

After the Ferris Wheel Grace started walking towards this ride.

She was trying to talk Daddy into bringing her on it.

Maybe in a couple years Grace.

If you read my last post about the candy stand and not winning.

Well I had to make up for not winning. We played until we won!

Now that's a fun trip to the boardwalk!

Tony, Jimmy, JR, and Andy went on the bumper cars. Grace and Jack had fun watching!

The boys having fun.

Great Aunt Barbara won Gracie some stuffed animals.

She is really making up for our last trip.

The Osmond Cousins!!!

To end the night Aunt Maria bought all the kids Ice Cream.

Notice Tony is eating Grace's. He is a kid at heart.

Jimmy is trying to steal Andy's cone.

Grace finally got her cone from Daddy.

And she LOVED it!!

What a fun day at Seaside! I have been going there since I was a little girl. Point Pleasant boardwalk is fun and close but there is nothing like Seaside. It really is the best boardwalk. We had such a blast!

Happy Birthday Aunt Maria!! Hope this a special year for you :) We love you.
