"Worship Mom Week End" Day Two-The Boardwalk

OK, so I'm not quite starting with day two. I found a couple from the evening of day one and I don't have the patience to put them on the bottom of of day one. Piper say "night,night" to PaPa. Not much makes him smile these day but the kids can always get him to.

Sami had to get all that spaghetti off of her face! Such a cute face too.

Lily is ready for bed too & Papa likes them like that.

WELCOME DAY TWO! Good Morning girls, didn't we just say good night? Three drowsy cousins and a Daddy Two daddies and a baby Lily, Piper & JackLily,safest place for her. She was into everything.

Breakfast for FOURTEEN has to be in shiftsI'm thinking we should have pulled the high chairs out

Piper is Daddy's Girl

Good Morning Jack, dressed for the day

but Grams is not quite readyPaPa loves his daughter-in-laws too.

Then we were ready for some more beach fun and our annual beach picture shoot.Thomas took some great pictures of us at the beach that I'll post when I get them. The kids got another chance to play at the beach and this time we brought the sand toys. After that we had lunch and everyone needed a nap before we went out to the boardwalk.

Maybe not EVERYONE took a nap. These two big kids took the chance to play in peace.The baby girls were too excited to sleep for long either.

Lily is 11 months and Piper is almost 7 months.PiperLilyThe the bubble 'incident". I couldn't get the blowers out of the bottle so they had to share just one but when I went back in Jack was only a minute behind me very proud that he had gotten the spares out of the bottle. Problem is he had to dump the bubbles out to do it.

THE BOARDWALKThe wagon was a GREAT idea!Boardwalk fries!!!Lily and her mommyOur big girl, I love her dress, long just like Mommy.They even had rides for our Lily Bean. You won't see any pictures of baby Piper on rides, maybe next year.Wyatt enjoyed the rides too.

Wyatt flying high.

I love that the little kids rides are under cover.Ella and MommyThomas, our photographer

Ella and Jack. These cousins sure do love each other. She was 3 1/2 when he came along and saw Aunt Nenni on a daily basis during her pregnancy. She was so excited to welcome him, it is almost like he is her little brother (although I suspect it won't be long before HE is bigger than HER)Lily Jean, Jelly BeanCousins, I'll have to pull this picture out when they start driving.

Lily and her daddy.I can't believe Lily was able to go on so many rides.Ella & Jack again. She didn't like being the squished one but didn't mind when her and Mommy rode and Mommy was the squished one.Charlie, Wyatt, Michele(where's Piper?hmm) & ThomasLily with Aunt Natalie. Can you tell Jennifer was the one with the camera?

Wyatt was very concerned for his cousins who were riding the "Teacup".

Patient young Jack.The lady running this ferris wheel type ride seemed to think it was just fine to put a 3year old and a 22 month old on the ride without an adult. The cage didn't even seem big enough for an adult but then we saw Jack stand up when their cage got to the top

. . .so Thomas decided to get in with them .

Ella saw all the excitement and wanted to join in the fun.It takes a lot to transport 6 grandchildren.Wait I think that's Piper in a stroller, looks like PaPa has been entertaining her, should have known.

Then back to the house for more play time.

Charlie, Michele & kids were assigned the family room for sleeping. The pull out couch, futon and port a crib and a full bath. It was a pretty good set up but it is also where all the toys were. So we played in their room. They could have fixed their bed though.They were gracious with their space.Lily loves to play ball with her daddy.Lily looks up to her cousin and brother.

We were having so much funthat we didn't get back to the house to cook the big dinner that we had planned so we dropped back to punt and just had hot dogs again. It's vacation after all. They didn't seem to mind.We're not sure who gave her ketchup but she sure didn't seem to mind.After pj's it was time for a sing along with Uncle Tommy.Ella loves it when her daddy sings.There's our sweet Piper, missing in action from our pictures some today.Once the kids were in bed we sat around awhile and had a couple of grown up drinks. Then some decided to go to a movie and the rest of us were going to play som Skip-bo like we did the night before.but some of us grown ups were too tired from such a busy day.
