Summer Vacation - Zoo and Beach

So to round out our summer vaca - we decided to make another trip to the Cape May County Zoo. Unfortunately, our timing was way off. We went out for breakfast and then off to the zoo. Problem was that by the time we got to the zoo, and parked the car, and got our sunblock on, and got into the zoo...Julia was whooped. It was nap time. We ended up staying on a half hour. We went into the World of Birds (she was not impressed) and the Reptile House. She loved the reptile house. I could barely keep up with her. Thankfully she wasn't the only unruly child running away from a parent in there.

Julia was "DONE" with her french toast.

Inside the World of Birds...I think those are Caribbean Flamingos

Can we go yet?

On one of our last days we finally made it to the beach. We had been waiting for an extra set of hands to help us out....enter Grammy. Thank you, Grammy. Anyway, my hopes and fears were realized almost immediately. Julia loved the water! Yay...she loved it....oh no!...she loved it. She was chasing the waves and they were chasing her. But boy oh boy was the water cold. It was time to go back to our spot and warm up. Julia was playing in the sand and had some lunch and then it was naptime. Unfortunately, she woke up sick...and I mean sick. It was her first time ever throwing up. What a mess. And it didn't end there. In the car, and then it spread slowly throughout the family. It literally took our family a week to recover from vacation because we were taking turns being sick. Anyway, we're all feeling better now and having fun looking over our pictures. Hope you did, too.

mmmm, juice.

ok, maybe I'll dig over here.

Happy Summer!
