Ben&Amelia's New Jersey Vacation...Part 1



Everyone had a great time at the River Edge 4th of July festivities. Amelia had her own camera at the parade and took a lot of pictures of the horses and the old cars.


Ben and Andrew both put their hands over their ears when the fire trucks came by but they all enjoyed the candy that everyone in the parade threw out to the parade watchers.


Amelia loved the 4th of July in River Edge. Amelia and Alex waited a long time but Amelia finally got her face painted, which she loved.


Ben had a great time at the River Edge Swim Club. He spent half of the time on the diving boards and the other half eating ice cream in the picnic area. He made friends with all the lifeguards and entertained them with his perfect dives.


On one of the last days of their 1st NJ Vacation, we all went to Ocean Beach, NJ to visit the Altman's at their beach house. The water was really cold and rough but that didn't stop Ben from trying to go in. There was a huge sand ledge on the beach that day which Ben tried to build steps in so he could walk back up after he jumped off the ledge. Amelia was not as adventurous in the water. After, we went to Toms River for Katie and Nick's birthday party. The snow cone maker was a big hit with everyone and all the kids seemed to have a good time. Ben played baseball with all the boys in the street while Amelia fit right in with all the girls.
