Summer Fun

After I came home from Seattle in April, I thought that we would have a pretty lazy summer. Neither of us working and with a baby, what would we do. I was wrong. After getting back from Illinois we had three weeks to rest before taking off on our first ever two week vacation! We had the chance to go to the Jersey Shore for a week and then off to Seattle for Megan's wedding and to see Grammie and Grandpa.

We will start with the beach. It was really hot and I think babies should be inside during the summer (I also don't like the beach and this gave me a really great excuse. I know I got married on a beach, but that is Mexico, not New Jersey. I don't like the water and I don't like the sand. Mike on the other hand could be on the beach from morning to night.) Anyway, we did get to the beach for about an hour a couple of days. Jake was not that into it. Maybe next year he will like it more. Mike buried him up to his chest on the day that I forgot my camera. He liked that for about two minutes. I feel like I only have pictures of him in this bathing suit. He does have other suits, but this one has the long sleeve rash guard shirt, which is really great!

Jake loves to suck on bottles. This is a beer bottle and there is nothing in it! I just thought that Gpa G would like the Notre Dame hat. That's my brother in law, Ed

(do you say Merry go round or carousel...is that a coast thing?)
