Ocean City, MD

Hey all! We've been plenty busy lately and I just haven't had time to update. Besides that all of my photos are on my laptop and for some reason the internet connection has decided to cease to work.
Anyway, July 12th we headed to Ocean City, MD for a few days. In prior years Kaiden has been petrified of the beach. He wouldn't even play in the sand. But this year was great! We walked down to the beach and with no coaxing at all he was down in the water and rolling around in the waves. I was completely surprised. He didn't waste any time. When the occasional BIG wave would come up and knock him all around he would get up and run back down ready for more. I was thrilled! In years previous we would go to the beach and end up leaving within the hour because it was just no fun when he wouldn't do anything. Now, he was upset when we left.
He also LOVED the boardwalk with it's numerous treats (that he doesn't normally get to have), and games and rides all of which he LOVES! Needless to say he wasn't much to happy when we had to leave a mere 4 days later! He has already been asking when we are to return to this wondrous of places. He also got to spend a lot of time with his cousins Mikey and Noah which he also enjoyed.
When I tried to take him for his yearly Old Time Photo that he has been getting since he was 11 months old, he outright refused to get the picture taken. I tried to explain that it was just like Halloween. He was even going to get to be a pirate. He very calmly explained that while he enjoyed this wonderful holiday with its candies and dressing up, he DID NOT want to dress up no. Oh well, I'm not paying all that money for a forced, crying photo, so I guess that tradition is atleast skipping one year.
I'll be sure to upload some pics as soon as my computer and internet decide to work together as a team!
