Jersey Shore 2012: 4th of July
This year Chase was old enough to experience the 4th of July fireworks! We laid the groundwork by telling him all about the pretty "boom booms" that would light up the sky and showing him videos of fireworks displays on YouTube.
We started the festivities at Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Rita's beach house where Brice played with Cousin Erin, and Chase amused all of the adults.
When it got dark, we went down to the beach and the fireworks began.
(one key preparation was missing- figuring out how to photograph fireworks)
The fireworks were awesome. Each little community along the beach put on its own fireworks display. They were really close and it was so cool to have so many different lights in view. Chase was awed.
Afterwards, Mommy decided we needed some pictures of our cute and festive boys.

And even a few with Mama!
It was a great 4th of July!

Jersey Shore 2012: Family Time
We didn't spend all of our time at the beach- much of it was spent together in and around the house.
We had a terrible storm (not quite a derecho, but pretty close) that knocked out our power for over 18 hours. Luckily it was the day AFTER it was 101 degrees out, but it was still quite warm. Brice and Chase slept in their diapers (and Brice benefitted from the stroller fan).
The storm turned over iron tables, threw deck furniture into pools, and leveled quite a few trees. Perhaps the most entertaining impact was the blow-up pool in the electrical wires!
Once the power was restored, we were back to relaxing in the a/c.
