Boardwalk Walkin'

We took a trip to the boardwalk the last day we were down at the shore. 

 Calvin was definitely interested in riding some rides this year. 

 There were boats in real water

 and a fire truck with a real bell.

That is a train up there.  Grandma Happy got to go on it with Calvin. 

 Daddy took Calvin golfing. 

 Then we had time for one more ride before heading home. 

 He's become so much braver this year. 

I know Calvin will love the boardwalk more and more each year. 

Cape May Zoo

 Sorry for the slow posts. I've been consumed with looking at bathroom tile for the new bathroom all week. 

So we took a trip to the Cape May Zoo while we were visiting out East. 

It was a really nice zoo

 and was free!

 There were a lot of animals 

 and a lot of shade to stand in while looking at them, which is a great idea. 

 Calvin loves the penny press souvenir things that are at all tourist-y places.

 Daddy agreed to squeeze into the train for a nice little train ride. 

 There they go!

It was a very nice trip for everyone!

Water Fun

Calvin loved the ocean this year. 

 He wasn't out there swimming or anything but definitely was having more fun in the water then past years. 

 This was his favorite: he would say "Zig me and zag me!"

 I would just cross my fingers and pray he didn't go flying out in to the ocean. 

 He loved playing with his daddy in the water. 

 He was definitely more brave this year. 

 Here Grandma Happy and Calvin are clapping to get the birds to fly away. 

Lots of fun in the water this year. 

SAND

Calvin loved playing in the sand in Ocean City this year. 

 Big holes were his favorite thing. 

 He loved having help but was willing to do the work himself if necessary. 

 Besides digging in the sand, he loved to draw in it. This is him working on perfecting his baseball. 

 The sand was also good for running 

 and for looking at jellyfish.

Gotta love the sand!
