Turner’s trip to the Jersey shore

Turner’s godparents are awesome.  Kelly and Adrian’s family has a house in Ocean City, N.J. and have invited us down to the shore several times.  We finally had one free weekend (well one free day) and decided to take them up on the offer.  The traffic wasn’t too bad.  Tori and I had both heard stories that made it seem worse.  We arrived at their beach house and after a few minutes of resting, changed and headed down to the beach – not before applying a healthy dose of sun block on Turner.

After finding a good spot and settling in, Turner feel asleep.  Not a bad thing, it gave the rest of us a chance to get in the water and get some sun.  Turner eventually woke up and was ready to play in the sand and water; or so we thought.   We each took turns with him but Turner was not a fan of the beach.  I think at one point he was scared of the waves.  We relaxed on the beach and let Turner play in the shade for a while before heading in for dinner.  Adrian grilled and Kelly’s mom made some great sides dishes. 

I think the highlight for Turner was playing with Stephanie; another one of our good friends who was enjoying the shore with us.  Steph enjoyed hanging with Turner and is looking forward to playing with him and babysitting him in the future.  We all agreed that after some swimming lessons at the YMCA or at least playing in a kiddie pool, Turner will have more fun at the beach next summer.
