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.

Closing Out the Summer

Free concerts in downtown Freehold this Sept/Oct. Even though it was a school night, we went to see The Nerds for an hour. And loved it ;)

 

Boys spent the weekend camping with Pop Pop and Grandma Lacina at the Butterfly Campground. Enjoyed a game of shuffleboard! Above, Mom poses with one of our massive sunflowers!

 

It was Oliver's dream to go to Apple Fest at Delicious Orchards this year. And it was  great day for it! As you can see, we all slurped down one cider slush, complete with vanilla ice cream in the middle. Drink it too fast, and regret it!

 

 

Tattoos. Goofy pictures. Touch-a-truck. Insane modern car!

 

First Day of School, 2014

 

 

Third grade. Kindergarten. KINDERGARTEN. Akkk!!!!

Bus stop gang. Oliver is SOOOO excited to get ON the bus, rather than just see his brother off ;)

 

Here it comes! Guess who never looked back?

WOOO HOOO!
Everyone had a story to share.
Both boys sound like they scored with fantastic teachers.
We're happy :)

Later, at Back to School night, we were greeted with a Large Oliver and one of the many class pets for T, this bearded dragon named Norbert.
