Obligatory Late September Beach Day

Freaking gorgeous morning. Warm. Blue sky. 

Two kids on wheels in Asbury Park.

We like to start at the north end of Ocean Grove, travel over the path into the city, and through the Casino Hall.

 

 

Some playtime on the new playground. Then back to the boards.

 

Spending time in Avon... One last trip to Strollo's in Belmar...

 

Capping off the afternoon with some rides in Point. Trenton has discovered that he loves the bumper cars. Below, I try to re-create my own boat pic from when I was a kid with Oliver.

Goofballs on the train.

A Friendly Summer

SO here we have three Bluesteens and two Konopacks. And one gorgeous beach morning.

 

This will forever be remembered as the summer of The Ice Bucket Challenge. Kudos to Jim for coming up with a novel way to record himself!

Spent some time at a local library. Above, with an old friend's two kids... below, with playing chess with Nicholas.

Ollie makes friends with EVERYONE ;)

Pool playdate with Christian and Logan:

 

Grandma Lacina bought some neat bubble wands, created out of bent wires. Boys totally enjoyed it.

 

Big boys playing in the sand... and on the lifeguard stand... and enjoying ice cream on the last...day...before...school...

About a year ago, we made a donation to Belmar in support of their boardwalk rebuilding effort. Above, Oliver points out where his name is on the plaque!

Next time you're at Tenth Avenue... freeze out, and then look for us on this sign ;)

 

And Nora turns five! It was great to be able to celebrate with her and family at the local ice cream shop!
