A beautiful day

A couple weeks ago we found ourselves with a beautiful Sunday afternoon and not much going on, plus we still had Sarah’s birthday to “celebrate!” We headed off to Boulevard Park for a walk on the boardwalk and a stop at Mallard’s ice cream downtown. It was a great day!

We always have to do a little rock climbing when we get near the water.

It was so funny to watch this…Becca wanted to see the crabs under the rocks, but didn’t want to take the chance that they might touch her as she flipped the rocks over. Ed had to flip over the rocks for her and she hid behind his leg for protection. Too cute, and of course, from my drama queen.

Funny story: as we walked down Railroad Avenue after eating ice cream at Mallard’s, Ed picked up Bethany and threw her over his shoulders, just to be a funny dad. She giggled and screamed happily until he put her down. I was a few paces behind and just after he put her down, a male, pushing a stroller and walking with what was presumably his wife, passed us going the opposite direction and said, to the female with him, “I sure hope that guy was that girl’s dad or uncle or something. Did you see what he did?” I could hardly keep from laughing as I walked by him. I sure hope that guy is still a fun dad like that to his little girl when she’s 11!
