Then everyone needed a little rest



After lots of good food there was even more GREAT desserts!!!! And what is a party without fancy straws????

Not sure about these rides...some of them look cool, but some of them are a little scary.... in fact, some of the operators of the rides are a little scary...what does that sign say? I guess I am too short this summer.... guess I will save my tickets for next summer!!!!


Here we are...on the boardwalk at the Jersey shore





So this is Seaside...a boardwalk with lots of 'interesting' people walking all around...look at all the stuffed animals... good thing I can't read yet - some of those shirts I couldn't wear to Church - and they are MY SIZE!!!



Who is that? More relatives??? What is this whole 4th of July thing? Can we still have the 4th of July even thought NJ is closed??? Guess we will find out in a few days...but now it is time for Seaside!!!! What is Seaside?



YEAH!!! Dad finally arrives in NJ!!!! More company!!! Dad's cousin Helen and Joe visit - thanks for more toys for Michael!!!!



Always time for a picture with Grandma!!!




Company!!!! And more toys!!!! Thanks to Uncle Robert, Aunt Betty, Thomas and Allison for visiting me!!!! Everyone had lots of fun playing with the toys, reading books and watching videos!!!! Allison tried to teach Michael the proper way to hit a volleyball!!




Look - I can actually sit in the chair...but I like to stand on it much more!!!
I am also getting better at smiling for the camera - instead of right after the picture is taken...




So far New Jersey is lots of fun!!!




next we had a great visit with Holly, Louis and Jillian. Thanks to them for letting Michael have some of their toys too. Boy is Michael one lucky guy or what!!!!



Back at Grandma's house - one of the coolest things about Grandma's house is the doorknobs!!! Michael could open them up all by himself!!! He was about to explore everywhere!!!
Good thing some shelves were still too high for him!!!
