We rounded out a busy summer with a week down at LBI! The boys’ school was closed all last week for ‘summer vacation’ so I took them down the beach for some time with Papa and Coco….and free child care so we could work. A win-win for everyone. We managed to cram a lot into 7 days on the island including long morning walks to the playground, swimming in the hot tub, digging holes in the sand by the bay, playing with friends, riding rides at the amusement park, a family photo shoot, and Papa’s birthday!
Papa’s birthday started off with donuts and ended with lobsters; success on all accounts! Not sure if Andrew liked the chocolate donut frosting or messing with the lobsters more?!
On Fridays Fantasy Island has ‘all you can ride’ for $15; it’s a total steal compared to the prices normally. Andrew took full advantage and showed no fear. He rode the truck, train, fire truck, boats, swings, pumpkin ferris wheel and pirate ship! He says his favorite was the fire truck- especially the loud buzzer he could press and bell he could ring!
meanwhile Papa and Coco kept Teddy company- clearly a real hardship! 
Just having fun! 
Closing out the summer at a pool party with friends. It really doesn’t get much better!
Farewell flip flops and long summer days! We’ll DEFINITELY be seeing you next year!
