The Jersey Shore....

So this year our fun summer vacation was a relaxing week at the Jersey Shore with my family. The trip to Sea Isle, NJ was so much fun. Aida had a great time and loved the beach. It was exactly what she needed after her flower girl (pics to come soon) debut. We had so much fun taking her to the beach, playing with her, going for ice cream, checking out the boats and building sand castles. Here are some of my favorite pictures from our vacation...
Aida loves to ride on the Airplane. Here she is "taking off" and looking out the window mesmerized.

The last 20 minutes of the 3 hour flight she fell asleep both times. But she behaved like an angel both times and has turned into the best traveler. We are so proud of her.

Here she is one of our first nights at the shore at a local ice cream shop eating ice cream with her cousins Jack and Carter. All three of them were so funny together. She ate Sponge Bob's eyes off this ice cream cone and then lost interest....

Happy Girl with Sponge Bob Ice Cream...

One of our first days at the beach...she loved having each one of us take her to the water about 150 times a day to fill up her bucket.

Relaxing at the shore house.

Hanging out with Uncle Michael and Courtney.

Loving the Ocean...

Grandpa and the puppies were worn out after a few days of 3 year old toddler energy...

Donna and Aida...

Making silly faces :)

On our last night there we went to dinner and then to a local carnival. Aida wanted to ride every ride...the more it spun and the faster it went, the more she liked it. Here she is looking over the side of the Ferris wheel with Daddy...I think she outlasted all of the adults that night. She had a great time.

On our way back home Sunday morning.

We had such a great time and are so thankful to be able to spend such great time with my family. Thank you Grandpa and Donna for a great week at the house and for hosting such a special family vacation. We loved it!!!
