it was sunny, hot, and fun. we made it to the boardwalk...
played at the beach...
visited the aquarium...

pretended we were FLDS...
and endured the usual drama (involving both kids and adults)... in this particular scene presley howled for almost an hour for what seemed like no apparent reason (here with cousin jordan & grandpa.) we only found out the reason on the way home. of course it was because...she dropped her weed flower. of course. that makes perfect sense. (insert roll of the eyes here.)
jen, my thoughtful sister-in-law made all the girls beautiful pillow case dresses. they looked angelic playing in the water at sunset.
all that's left of our fun vacation is riley's beautiful shells... too bad the crabs died!
