Day at the Beach

We took a trip to New Jersey in June to attend a wedding, visit our family, and JR had a business class in New York City. The weather was cooler than Oklahoma which was a nice change. It rained on and off while we were there so we were a little limited to the activities we could do. Here are some pictures from our trip


He's got the monkey grip on JR here cause he does not want to be put down!

The first full day we were there we drove two hours South to visit Seven Presidents Beach near Point Pleasant, NJ. It was supposed to be a really beautiful day and it started out that way. However, by the time we got down there, it had turned cloudy, really windy, and the temp had dropped below 70. I haven't been to the beach many times in my life but I was glad I had the foresight to bring our jackets or the trip to the beach would have been even shorter! This was Eli's first time to the beach. The waves were really big, because of the wind, and a little intimidating so Eli wasn't too sure about the water at first. We didn't go swimming for this reason (and the cold).

After a break for some lunch, we gave the water another shot.


He loved it this time! He was so cold though, his lips started turning blue and his teeth were chattering but he didn't want to leave.





We only stayed for a little over an hour, it was just too windy and chilly for us. I was a little bummed we didn't get to explore tidal pools or build sand castles but I'm sure we'll make it back another day.
