summer time fun

We have been trying to squeeze all the fun into summer that we can. Rhone had 2 firsts in the last little bit. He went tubing behind the boat and he rode his very first amusement ride. Before we even made it on the boat Rhone was playing in the water with his friend. We had been asking him all day if he was going to ride on the tube. He said yes every time we asked him, so he rode with his dad for a good 10 minutes before anyone else got a turn. After a day on the water, we were treated to a delicious and relaxing dinner. It was the perfect way to spend a Saturday.

There is a place called "Funland" that has little rides right on the boardwalk. We bought a book of tickets and plopped Rhone into his first ride. He smiled the whole time. As soon as the ride ended, Rhone would ask for "more". We would whisk him off and quickly draw his attention to a new ride and the delight would return to his face. It was so much fun to watch how much he enjoyed it. Most of the rides only cost 30 cents, so we let him ride until it was so late at night that we had to head home. I love how much joy I get out of seeing Rhone happy. Being a mom really changes your heart.

Playing in the high tide water in the parking lot. He would jump up and then land directly on his bum.

Such a cute little family

Shortly before Ben and Rhone fell off. We have a little trooper.


Some of the rides were really old, but really detailed.

Yes, we essentially took a picture of every single ride, but don't worry I didn't put them all on here.
