Beach!

Despite being in the Northeast, we have a plethora of beaches a short distance away.  This past week, we packed up the car and headed to one.  We had not been to this particular beach before, but I think it will be one of our favorites.

Mini Me, who isn't really crazy about rides, had a BLAST at the beach-side amusement park.  At first she was a little hesitant, but throughout the day, she got more and more daring and went on things she originally refused to go on.  It was great watching her.  She especially liked the bumper cars.

Then we headed onto the beach.  We splashed in the waves for a bit.  Sweet Pea thought it was great to run back and forth, playing tag with the waves.  Squeals of delight.  Then, of course, we played in the sand before heading back to the rides.

We also saw fireworks on the beach.  The girls had their glow sticks and they LOVED the fireworks!  

As Mini Me would say:  Best.Day.Ever!  LOL
