We spent Labor Day weekend with Grandpa G, CC, Maggie and Billy at the NJ Shore house. It was beautiful weather and we did lots of activities so it was a great time for all. Ben had so much fun that once we got home, he slept for over 12 solid hours last night and took a 4 hour nap this afternoon to recover!
Here, Andrew and Ben are getting ready for a boat ride to see the Barnegat Lighthouse.
On the boat. Ben barely protested this time when we put the life jacket on him and really enjoyed the ride. He is obsessed with seafaring lingo and was actively pointing out all of the buoys, boats, bridges, the lighthouse and all of the symbols on the signs.
He loved playing with the buoy!
The swift sea air can make one drowsy, Ben included. Here, he takes a little snooze in his Daddy's arms during our trip. How cute is he in the last photo, curled up into the fetal position while sucking on his fingers?
Our destination!
We went to Jenkinson's Boardwalk and unlike the 4th of July weekend, when Ben was terrified of the rides, he actually enjoyed them this time and wanted to keep riding the truck-themed ones!
Here we are on the Crazy Bus ride.
Here's Ben on his favorite ride, the Big Rig truck ride! First with Grandpa G and then all by himself!

The pony ride, again all alone! He also went on a firetruck ride by himself but my photos did not come out. I can't believe this is the same boy who screamed on every ride just two months ago!
Nate chilled in the stroller for our entire trip. What a charmer he is, now that he's close to 6 months old. He'll smile at everyone!
Nate had his first experience with the sandbox this weekend, now that he is interested in observing the world around him and is also able to sit up. He loved feeling the sand in his fingers and playing with the sand toys.
OK, more fun photos of Nate while I was home alone with him one afternoon while the rest of the group went on the boat. He had a great time playing on the floor and being watched by Charlotte and Frances, the French Bulldogs.
One other afternoon on the boat to watch Andrew and Billy ride the tube. I tried this a few times in the past and am not outdoorsy enough to brave it again!

Finally, some miscellaneous pictures of Andrew, Grandpa G and CC playing with the kids in the sandbox one evening.
