Ocean Grove, NJ on vacation


June 25-July 1, 2007 was our third annual trip to Ocean Grove, NJ for a family vacation. Cousin Fran invited us to come to her beach house again. Aunt Joanne, Uncle Joe, Cousins: Alyssa, Ryan and Stephanie were there too. It was a lot of fun. We went to the beach each day, went for ice cream each night, went to Point Pleasant Boardwalk (two times--Amanda won her first prizes there!), played mini-golf, went to an aquarium, saw the movie, "Happy Feet" on the beach, OG had a fourth of July parade which was great! They threw candy, frisbees, beach balls, etc. to the kids along the parade route--Stephanie and Ryan really went crazy for the candy! Amanda even shook hands with a clown. It was so much fun. Also our third cousins from Brooklyn came in for the day. Cousin John, his wife Lisa, and daughters Brianna and Jesse Ray came for the day. They saw the movie with us. Amanda had a blast each day--but each night was crying to go home to Hoboken. She missed her bed and her kitty cats! Real tears and all! This was Abbey's first time at the beach and seemed to really like it--she even seemed to enjoy eating the sand. What a kid!
