It's The Sun!!!! Pt. Pleasant Beach Day!

About a month ago our friend, Michelle, called and asked if we wanted to play hooky with them and join them for a beach day today (6/25). Little did we know when we talked about this day, that the ENTIRE month of June would be rainy and overcast so we hemmed and hawed all week long and made alternative plans to go to the Camden Aquarium.

But luck was on our side and today was the most perfect day! It was in the mid 80's, no humidity, light wind and blue skies! I cannot believe how beautiful it was considering it was ugly and cold yesterday and is supposed to be ugly and raining again.

Sofia is so funny, when you tell her you're taking her picture she leans into the person she's taking the picture with but she still won't look at the camera. What is it with my kids and not looking at the camera?!

Sofia was really concerned with the fact that it's not bikini season. She was afraid she wouldn't look good in her bikini. I told her she was crazy. I mean you don't get a body like this without working for it!
Oh, and notice the watershoes..Ella (born in San Diego) is a major beach girl. She runs right into the ocean and spends hours jumping in the waves. She gets knocked down and jumps right back up and goes in again. Sofia is not a natural beach girl. By the end of the day she was hanging out like an old pro but the only way we could get her to walk on the sand, was to put on her beach shoes....oy, what a look!

Here she is chatting on her blackberry. Don't be jealous of that body ladies, you can get it too...

We spent 4 hours on the beach! I was so surprised that Sofia lasted so long without a nap but she was having a blast. Around 3pm we decided to wrap up at the beach and hit the boardwalk.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for...dippin dots?
We rode a bunch of rides, of which I don't have a lot of pics of but I do have these,

We packed up and hit the road around 4pm and hit every type of traffic issue out there-construction, accident (x2), high school graduation + lots of cops on the road, but even with the long ride home, it was such a wonderful day and worth it!
