Point Pleasant

Yesterday was a "girls day" since Ed wasn't able to get of from work. The girls and I took a day trip to Point Pleasant Beach. This is the closest beach I know if that has a boardwalk. After dragging all of our stuff on to the beach (towels, a tent for the baby, a cooler, beach chair and diaper bag) O and not to mention that the stroller will not roll at all in the sand so I had to drag it through the sand. We head down to the water only to realize that we are not between the "green flags" where it is ok to swim! I was not about to move all of my stuff over so we just walked over to the safe to swim area leaving all of our stuff behind. Jillian was not a huge fan of the water. Alexis was sitting at the waters edge holding her thinking that a little wave would come and just splash enough to get their legs wet when all of the sudden a giant wave came along, she didn't have time to get up so she held Jillian in the air as high as she could while sitting, but... it wasn't high enough, the wave rolled in and over her head. She was not at all happy! She cried for a few minutes, we cleaned all of the sand off of her face and tried to just dip her feet in, but no luck! After what happened she wanted nothing to do with any part of her body being in the water. Needless to say we only spent a little over an hour on the beach, got showered, stopped for lunch and headed to the boardwalk for some rides!

Jillian is in her best moods when there is tons of action. Once we got over to the rides, it was sort of like a carnival and she was in a wonderful mood looking around at everything. We spent about 3 hours watching Alexis and Marissa enjoy the boardwalk rides.
















































The girls were having so much fun I felt bad making them leave, but Jillian was done!










It was a fun day and the kids got along so well the whole time we were there. I even saw Alexis and Marissa holding hands to get to each ride, which hardly ever happens anymore. Of course as soon as we got home the fighting started so they were in bed by 8:30 last night! Will it ever stop?
