The Shore

Back in July, we had an action packed
and very full visit to the Jersey Shore and Sparta.
The girls love getting back to the beach
just as much as their mom and dad do.

We were thankful to get to spend time with so
many family members and also old friends.
We spent the days boogie boarding
and sand castle building,
watching the fireworks,
riding bikes around town,

painting seashells, enjoying art class,
going to dinner in Bay Head,
playing with our Emma and Scarlett,
celebrating cousin Matt's graduation,
cheering for Courtney in her summer musical,
testing our skills at mini golf and Jenkinson's Boardwalk,
and taste tasting Uncle John's feasts.

Back in Sparta,
we paid a visit to the Boardwalk,
our favorite playgrounds and Station Park,
rode bikes, flew kites, visited the water park
and celebrated Grandpa's birthday.
The girls spent countless hours playing
with my old dollhouse, and our final night
was dedicated to catching fireflies outside my parent's house.
All the makings of summertime classics.
Some wonderful memories from our time in NJ!
