Last week I was lucky enough to spend 5 days in Ocean City, NJ! It was lovely! Carl’s parents rented a house on 3rd street just down the block from the beach and boardwalk. It was a fantastic location! We spent the week with his parents, sister, her husband and their 2 kids, Tommy & Brian. It was so relaxing and so much fun. Thanks so much again, Marge & Ray!!
Here are a few fun pics from the week:
Of course, what’s a storyboard about Ocean City, NJ with a picture of the Ferris Wheel?
Carl & I:
We finally got to fly our massive 30′ kite again! Thanks, Dale!! I love this kite. It is so much fun and simply took off into the air that night. Here is Carl’s blog about it:

I love Tommy doing “the beach is that way” muscle kiss in the photo below.
Brian getting dirty….
That’s my husband (insert those popular little hearts that people use that I don’t know how to use here). Anyone know how to make them, leave a comment!
Yep, that is Steph having a good time on the carousel.
And again on the “Fun Slide”…
Love this next one….
Goofs!
Towards the end of the week, the boys got to choose their new pet hermit crab. FREE!!!! (fineprint: with purchase of cage, of course). Tommy’s hermit crab was painted as SpongeBob. Weird, I know…. I believe he named his “Bob”. Brian named his “Chum Chum”. Chum Chum, unfortunately had a short life after leaving the boardwalk. I think he almost made it 24 hours? I do believe that he was later replaced. Chum Chum II, perhaps? RIP Chum Chum.
1. < + 3 = <3
Someone had to tell me too. They need to be next to each other without the + for it to work. 🙂
2. What a great trip and how lucky they all are to have such an incredible photographer in the family. I wish I could do that spinning whirl thing picture- wow!!!
A beautiful family for a beautiful person!
We used to rent a house on 3rd street every year when I was younger and I worked in that amusement park, occasionally running that big ferris wheel for 5 summers…..ahhh memories.
Looks like fun
Thanks so much, Kristine!! I will try out the heart too. 🙂 <3
Dani, I had no idea you worked down there! Very cool! I actually thought it would be fun to do a photo series just on the workers. They all look slightly miserable, actually. I guess that is just the “I’m a teenager making minimum wage during the hot long days of summer” look though. 😉
Great pics Melissa, as always.
