ROAR

Resonating Shrieks in our Ears

Today was our 3rd anniversary.  Our original plans were to go to Land of Make Believe in Hope, NJ, but the weather did not cooperate.  So we decided to head to Jenkinson's Aquarium.  It's where Tyler took me for my birthday when we first met.  Here is a sampling of our day. 

The other unexpected part of our day was Dylan's behavior.  His continued tantrums made our trip to the aquarium very difficult and he wanted nothing to do with anything but being held by mommy or following the little girl by the tutle tanks.  As we walked around, people were turning their heads and saying how loud Dylan was and that he was a screamer.  "Just Go!" was a phrase I was continually ushered by my loving husband to avert attention from peering eyes.  Dylan enjoyed the monkeys and some fish, but that was about 10 minutes worth and marred by horror and embarassement. 

We left early and were planning on going to Europa South for dinner (where Tyler also took me for my first birthday), but it was only 2:30 and had a lot of time to kill.  We tried to subdue the ferer of his tantrums by exploring the boardwalk to no avail and eventually headed home to the chorus of reverberating soundwaves eminating from a carseat located in our backseat seeking to blow out our ear drums for attention. 

he was so happy he got a prize he won with mommy shooting water in the hole

we rode the elephants and he loved it. 

After mommy threw a 56mph fastball to win a yankee blow up hammer, we migrated back to our vehicle and headed home to have dinner at Tesseras. 

We arrived home exhausted with headaches and memories will last us a lifetime.  Happy 3rd Anniversary to us with a lifetime of many more!

Bowling swords

Don't think I'll play bowling sword fighting again. My kid goes crazy in full force!

Afuera

Tonight we decided to have dinner outside and allow Dylan to play while we dined. He wanted nothing to do with eating his hotdog until he saw the BBQ chips.

We stayed until I got bit up by every bug out there. Nice change of scenery.

Oh you may be wondering what "afuera" means??? It means "outside" in Spanish.

Cool Room

Tyler put in our new AC unit in the living room. The hole needed to be knocked out & wood pieces put in to make it tight for the unit to fit. Now we can conserve the other units in the bedrooms yet be cool in the living room! Now we need to replace Dylan's AC unit and we're good! I also need to find a new place to hang up my diploma.

Love having a handyman! Sexy too :-)

Not an ocean fan

We arrived to Avon early to get on the beach (free after 4pm) to get some photo shots and bring Dylan to the water.  At first the water felt pretty cold, but once you got used to it, it was nice.  The hot temps have made the water less icy. 

Maybe next time he will be better with the water.
