Wise guys

Ok, I get it... the kids want a pool.

Ohio Trip

We had another great trip to Ohio. Dad and I put up the new porch in record time, and the kids had fun at the playground, picking berries and playing with Smokey's cat door. Dad's garden probably produces more tomatoes than the state of New Jersey, and some of his zucchini are almost as big as Ryan. Those are the grillin' zucchinis :)

Down the Shore

We took a quick trip down to Seaside this weekend. It was good to relax and do some crab fishing, but the weekend wasn't exactly uneventful. For the past few weeks, beach-goers have been talking about their shark encounters in the waters around Seaside Heights and Seaside Park. We didn't think much about it until we heard that a six-foot sand shark came right up onto the beach about an hour before we got there. There's a pretty good video of it here:

I guess you can't blame the shark, he's just going where the food is. Maybe he likes fried Twinkies and sun tan lotion?




..And here are some pictures from crabbing. In the first picture, Michael's trying to shoot me with a dead fish that ultimately ended up being used as bait. We caught close to 15 crabs with that dead fish!
