Vacay

Caramel apple. A.W.E.S.O.M.E. And yes, this thing easily took 6 years off my life expectancy. Worth. It.

Peter finished his Board exams (COMLEX Step II and the Physical Examination Exam) on May 18, so we packed the kid in, grabbed our swimming suits and headed on down to Ocean City, Maryland.

On the trip down. We're awesome parents and drove our child to the beach at 11:00 PM. Bedtime? Ehh...

Water slide at our hotel's children's pool

We stayed at the Hilton suites in Ocean City and really enjoyed it. The pools (1 indoor and 2 outdoor) were amazing and the children's pool was a huge success with Caleb.

He loved the sand. We could barely get him over the sand dunes before he started digging.

Remember how I said I wouldn't post embarrassing pictures? Oh well.
He wrapped this towel around him and said, "I'm a princess! I'm a princess!" We're going to thank Aubrie for that one :)

Caleb conveniently helping himself to his new friend's toys.

Even the clouds couldn't keep him from playing in the sand.

We were even able to get a trip to Assateague Island in and saw some ponies and lots and lots of trees. Caleb was rather impressed with the ponies and birds, until a pony tried to nibble on his toes. He was thereafter, unimpressed. He kept saying, "We need to go eat some yummy, yummy crabs!" (We had promised we'd go get crabs after we saw the ponies).



Apparently, our car can swim. Who knew a Camry came so fully equipped?

Pony trying to eat Caleb's foot.

Once Caleb saw the crabs, however, he was rather convinced they were bugs ("It's a bug mommy, it's a bug! Don't eat bugs, ewww, Mommy.") and was therefore, unimpressed. He was a big fan of Rita's though.

And oreos.

He poor kid got some awesome sunscreen-and-sand mixture in his eye. It was red and puffy all day. Oreos help make eyes better, didn't you know?

And that was our two day trip. It was awesome. Let's go again!

You know, I don't think I've ever had a caramel apple when it wasn't around Halloween. Way to think outside the box. By the way, I love your curly hair. Between you and Pete, wherever did Caleb get his? How's Charlotte's looking?

Oh how fun! We are all super jealous and I promise to have Aubrie teach Caleb to be the "prince" next time they play together! We love you guys!
