We had the best week to kick off the official start of summer.
Your eyes may need a warning: lots of neon to come.
We continued out beach week from last week’s post…
And the awful weather continued too. So cold, windy, rainy, etc.
But aren’t these gorgeous?!
We started each morning at the playground!
And with a little walk.
And even some pool time. It was so cold that the pool felt warm.
And they loved it as the only ones there!!
I think I’m most excited for these pics that showcase Jordan’s personality.
First ice cream stop!
This hot fudge sundae was crazy.
He was soooo excited about his cotton candy ice cream.
And this is how fun he is.
And this!
And this!
And the next day – this too.
Still so windy but not quite as cold. It was 70!
Perfect for boogie boarding.
I sent this to Eddie and he said how lovely the blue skies and water were… ha.
Made more sandcastles that we could count.
By late afternoon, it cleared up a little!
But we went out to look for crabs and all the fog rolled back in.
A little warmer. Still foggy and hazy and cool.
They didn’t care and thought it was the best ever.
Sand cake.
The waves were good this day.
And we got margaritas on the beach!
Bestest friends at the beach.
Finally sunny!
The day got clear and warmer too.
Dinner.
More Jordy.
Emilia would stay in the ocean for hours. I had a very hard time keeping up with her face getting sun because she kept wiping her eyes and wiping it off.
He strikes again.
Another crab walk at night!
And finally a super clear morning!
Best boy.
This day was so fun. We spent… maybe 10 hours on the beach?!
Um, hello. I want to write a book about this. Brilliant.
The kids LIVED in the waves.
How fun?!
Eddie didn’t come with us initially because of work, so he came and surprised the kids a few days later!
I can’t talk enough about the neon pink, green and yellow in the ocean, on the beach and in the pool. So easy to spot the kids ANYWHERE.
Tada!
Gorgeous last two days, we got lucky.
Saying goodbye to BFFs!
Had a little shopping day.
True life: my grandpa had a mug on the ceiling in the Ugly Mug.
My brothers always had to get gummy candy when we were in Cape May… so that’s what we did!
Max was SO excited that they had the dubai chocolate. He said he had “wanted to try it forever.” (I died laughing). He loved it. I think the quality of the chocolate could have been better.
Gummy sharks!
Lobster roll time.
We all love a connecticut roll.
And love Cape May!
Next thing I knew, Eddie and Jordan walked out carrying a large rubber ducky.
And we got to see our cousins too!! They just got there, we were just leaving.
Pina Colada that tasted like nothing.
And then we came home! We were all very happy to get home.
I made a delish marinated pasta for dinner.
With some grilled salmon and chimichurri!
It was all so fresh and good.
And it’s truly summer: first grilled corn of the season!
