The Massive Ocean City Vacation post you've been bugging me about waiting for!

In my defense, I took over 500 pictures on my vacation, so I had quite a bit to sort through, in addition to catching up after taking a week off in the middle of wedding season... See, even a photographer ends up working on her vacation! ;)

Without further ado, and in no order whatsoever because I refuse to spend any more of my Labor Day sorting through images...

Heading to the beach with Geedah and Peepa.


Eating his first (and last) Rita's of the summer...


"I so happy!"


Stopping at Wawa in Dover on the way down to OCMD, we decided to rock out. Here Jake does his "rock horns."


Geedah and Jake having fun, and luckily for me and my camera, it was in the perfect late afternoon light!


My two favorite pictures of Jake for the vacation:


Someone stole my fresh-squeezed lemonade:


On the boardwalk


Bludgeoning a crab


Our little guard dog, who managed to bark at every other dog she saw from our porch (and she is not normally a barking kind of dog)


Playing MTV Drumscape with Daddy


We try to take this shot every year, I should try to find last years's shot of him...


jake, Dada, Geedah, Peepa. (No, we didn't think to get one of all five of us. Duh.)


The Boyds (Caley, Uncle Bob, Aunt Marianne, Brad)


Cosuin Bec, Rollin, Aunt Nancy


The moms and daughters: Caley and Aunt Marianne, Beccah and Aunt Nancy (Jess had to go back to school), me and mom.


Jake and Geedah onthe beach, eating leftover Dolle's caramel corn.


Balloon hat, made by non-enthusiastic somewhat scary Russian teenage clown....um..yeah....


Peepa, Jake and Daddy on our last night on the boardwalk, catching the train back to where our car was parked.


We had to get rid of the leftover Carvel ice cream Birthday cake in the freezer before we left, so Jake volunteered to take one for the team and had, gasp, ice cream cake for breakfast. There goes my mother of the year award....


Playing skeeball on the boardwalk. Jake throws it overhand - ha!


Jake and Dad in the gorgeous afternoon sunlight.


My dad spotted this from the Boardwalk, and I just had to go back for the photo.


I took as many pictures as possible when the sunlight settled over the bay. GORGEOUS light!


The one and only picture you will ever see of me in my bathing suit on this blog. Ever. Jake fell asleep and took his nap on my chest while we were on the beach. You can see the bathing suit marks on his little cheeks!!


There is some kind of fellowship who builds these amazing sand sculptures each year. They are so amazing. We went to take a closer look, and I looked down at Jake in his stroller and he has his hands clasped in prayer! I was so proud and full of joy to see that! :)


My favorite cute boys :)


The amazing sunset over the bay that I was mentioning


More Boardwalk fun...


This was after playing miniature golf one day. This was about five minutes before we went into the arcade and Ralph spotted former Phillies player and current ESPN Baseball Tonight host, John Kruk!


A mean game of Pictionary broke out one night between Aunt Nancy,Bec, Caley, Aunt Marianne, my mom and I. Guess whose team won? I'll give you two hints: she was an art major and she writes this blog.


Jake got the chance to sit in an actual OCVFD firetruck! Very cool! I couldn't believe the firemen invited us in to do this! :)




The aforementioned miniature golf course.


And one more of my happy cute boy on our last night on the boardwalk.


Already counting down to go again next year! :)
