Ocean City 2014!

every year we head to OCNJ for a week long family vacay... i knew gia loved the beach and rides so this year was sure to be a lot of fun. she loves to hang with her cousins too so it is nice they all get to spend some time together. this is a long one just so you know :)

here we are on the road!

 the car was literally packed every inch of space possible. i was convinced we would have to take 2 cars!

 yay we are here! i love jacks face in this pic, so handsome

 checking out the view

 everyone off to the boardwalk the first night, i stayed with jack bc he was too tired to go

 i love dusk at the beach

 beach time!

 they really loved to play and kept themselves pretty entertained most days

 awww. it took jack a little bit but he got used to the water eventually!

 she just loved it!

 love them!

 these videos are funny

 at the rides! i couldn't believe the ones gia went on, i went on with her and they were kinda scary lol

 she loved the ferris wheel. it was so high i was freaking out!

 love their screams

 i actually read a magazine on the beach.

 diva!

 relaxing during nap time with this yumminess!

 more rides! this night we took gia alone so we could stay a little longer without a grumpy jack

 she was loving spending time with us and we had so much fun

 this was her fave ride by far!

 time for ice cream, YUM!

 i love this girl!

 :)

 On wednesday we went to visit our friends Heather and Chris and their 3 kids, they have a house in diamond beach in wildwood. Their place is gorgeous and like a resort, we had a great time together!
They set up all the stuff on the beach for you, so awesome!

 Jack was being a crank as usual lol

 The water was so nice and Gia was loving it

the views from their place

the kids hanging nicely

after we got dinner which was awesome we had a seafood feast! we got some ice cream and then gia and jack had insane meltdowns. they were tired from a long fun day so i understand :)

 thanks for having us!

last morning at the beach. i seriously need to win the lottery and get a shore house. it has ALWAYS been my happy place and now the kids love it as much as i do! ahhhh maybe one day!

we had so much fun and i loved watching the kids. this was by far the best year since we were all able to enjoy ourselves :)
