Adventures in Camden

The Aquarium is actually worth the trip into one of the worst cities in the US.

 Sean was very excited about the sharks

 Sean wanted to get his face painted like a frog

 the frog prince:

 monkey see....monkey do...

 this was a little bubble they could put their heads right in the tank...we couldn't get dylan out.

 Nemo

 the hippos!

 Sean was totally loving the exhbit below.  You are in a dark room and the jellyfish kind of glow - it was really cool.

 shark tank

 "Sean, I will save you from the sharks"  (Saving = toss you on the floor)

 This tank was amazing

 The stingray look like such happy little guys

 loved that turtle

it was a great day in camden!

Hitting the Street

So even though it was downpouring as we drove we decided to try to make Sesame Place work yesterday.

It was bright and sunny when we finally got there

 We saw Abby

 and of course elmo

 Then we got to go in the back before the parade and see lots of people.  Here is Rosita

 Big Bird

 Murray

 and count -about this time the sky broke open and we had to run for it.

 We hid under the photo booth for about 10 minutes then decided to just go for it.  We covered the kids in the stroller and made the mad dash.  No water ride could have gotten us this soaked!  (Meanwhile Dylan thinks that was the best part)

Point Pleasant

I deleted some old posts and that seems to have allowed me more room - which is good b.c I have a lot to share this week!

Last night we went down to pt pleasant to ride some rides.  Dylan LOVES rides

 We ran into his buddy Hailey - they were unstoppable getting on everything

 Sean even got to go on a firetruck

oops

well, apparently the free photo storage on the blog is full.  so I'm not able to share more pics until I figure out how to fix it.  stay tuned.

JURASSIC PARK

Today we took a day trip to Jurassic Park!  (Or Field Station Dinosaurs in Secaucus)

As you approach the dinosaurs they roar and move their heads.  

 This guy is over 90 feet long. He was no joke.

 NYC in the background makes for interesting dinosaur pictures

Beach day!

Another great Memorial Day weekend!  These two loved the beach - and luckily they got much better sunscreen application than their lobster lookin parents.

 Trying to get a picture of them together is such a task - esp when they have hats on and it's harder to get their faces

 AWW - a hug - it lastest for .5 seconds before someone pushed someone else.

but they did play together in the sand for 4 hours.  They made 'car soup', and mud pies and basically got REALLY dirty.  and they loved every second

A trip to the firehouse

One of my friends is a volunteer firefighter.  SO he volunteered to give the boys a private tour.  These were some happy boys.  They got to climb on everything and touch everything.  Great afternoon trip. 

Dylan was fascinated by the nozzles

 He also LOVED going on top of the trucks (and really, what four year old wouldn't)

 This is his real hat he let them try on

 And the smoke mask

Of course if Dylan got to go on top....
