Digging Holes and Building Castles

Eva, CeCe, Andrew, and Joe dug lots of holes. Andrew (9) and Joe (7) are the sons of Tony's friend Ro.

Dad got in on the action, too.

 

Gram's Cool Beach Chair

Here's Gram enjoying the sun and fun in her free beach wheel chair, courtesy of the Ocean City Sports & Civic Center.
Stylin!

Gram fit right in with the crowd, watching the waves and the granddaughters.

Here's the whole groups of us.

 

CeCe at the Beach

And here's some shots of CeCe. She wasn't ready for the big waves this year, but she had lots of fun playing in the giant sandbox and running from the waves.
Me and CeCe went on a crab hunt in these rocks.

No crabs, but she found something interesting.

Posing for the camera...

 

Eva at the Beach

Here's Eva the Fish, braving the ocean waves with her new friend, Andrew...
I confess I made the sky a little bit bluer in some of these, but it really was a nice day anyhow!

Carrying water to one of the sandpits (what else do you do at the beach??).

What a lovely smile!

 

Build-a-Bear Shopping Trip

Eva and CeCe had Build-A-Bear Certificates ("credit cards" according to Eva!), so we went to Park City Mall in Lancaster to buy stuff for Peppermint (Eva's dog) and Dorothy (CeCe's cat). Here they are at Boscov's, where we bought shoes and some sunglasses for the beach.
Very happy girls after a successful Build-A-Bear visit.

We stopped for a little bus ride on the way out (after having some ice cream, of course).

 

Gram & Poppa's House

After overnighting in Newtown, we went to Gram & Poppa's house in Reading. Eva helped Gram put icing on some birthday cakes. A little bit got onto her face!
I guess CeCe was helping Papa with his calculator here.

Here's Eva looking glamorous and happy as usual!

We had a nice relaxing visit in Reading, but the rest of the week was pretty busy (pictures coming up next!).

 

Girls Visit PA

The girls came to PA to visit with me and some of the family around the state. Our first stop was my apartment in Newtown, where I made pancakes for breakfast...

Eva took this picture of me and CeCe.

Good old Raki was happy to see the girls again. Eva took this picture, too.
