Vincey Videos!

Here are a handful of miscillanious videos from the last few weeks, probably not interesting for most (just Vince being cute and laughing) but I know some of his Aunts, Uncles & Grandparents will want to see them.

This is Vince & Dillon the day after we got out East, do you think 

Vince is happy to have his dad to play with again?

Vince and Dillon playing in our hotel in NJ.

Playing at the park with mom & dad!

Goofing around on the boat. 

Vince running in the waves, notice how he gets pushed under water, 

but immediately springs back up and keeps trying to go deeper...

Our little toddler walking around the park saying "dad" over and over. 

He always collects sticks anywhere he is!

Vince giggling and playing with his star balloon. 

Ocean City: A Picture Post

 Well, things have been crazy with the company we are selling with and long story short: we got a paid week off while they re-tool some things. We wanted to use the time to travel some more but the weather wasn't great and we were pretty tired so we opted for a few days of "staycation" then a trip to Ocean City, NJ

We got to go the local Italian Festival. They had lots of food and rides but we found a free little park and had more fun than we could have on the rides!

I love how much fun Vince always has with Dillon!

The next day we went to the DE Museum of Natural History, it was fun to watch Vince run around!

Vince found this hilarious!

They had an eagle's nest that Dillon & Vince had a blast in

He is such a hugger! He kept hugging and patting the stuffed eagle on the back.

They had a 3D model of the reef under some glass, Vince wanted to get down there!

Dung Beetle, Dillon felt the need to go shoulder deep in it's bundle of joy.

He was getting fussy, so we decided to feed him to the elephant.

Turtle rides!

We finally learned how to get him to feed himself with a spoon: ice cream!

Yum!

After our "stayation" we drove to Ocean City, NJ. We got a hotel and went to the boardwalk the first day. It was miles of boardwalk with tons of shops. We had a good time taking it all in. The weather started to turn so we went to a really nice seafood place nearby for an early Father's Day dinner.

Our second day in NJ started out with a 3 hour boat trip on the ocean for Dolphin & Whale watching. We didn't see any whales, but saw a ton of Atlantic Bottle-nose Dolphins which played around the boat for 20+ minutes. Then we went back to the boardwalk for lunch and then to the beach.

Vince & I at the boardwalk

Vince & Dad  playing at the beach

Vince was desperate to get in the water, but his swimsuit was at the hotel- he got VERY mad at us

Playing in the sand was an acceptable second choice to playing in the water.

I started getting worried about sand in his eyes so I wiped his face, then to spite me he literally smashed his whole face into the sand.

Trying to run to the water again!

Family footprints

It started raining as we were leaving, and left a gift for us!

Our little dude lounging in the back seat with his feet up on our way to a great dinner.

Dad & Vince excited for the whale watching trip to begin.

Vince had a blast looking overboard at the water.

First sighting of the dolphin off the boat.

More dolphins, there were several pods among the big herd playing around the boat.

Having fun watching the dolphins.

Vince kept yelling and playing peek-a-boo with the dolphins

I love our family!

He rarely wears his hat, but liked it this day since it kept the sun out of his eyes.

This is Vince mid-wave, he opens and closes his hand towards himself. Though in this picture it looks like he might be threatening to punch someone.

Silly dad! That's my hat!

He was pretty tuckered out so we got him to nap on the lower level of the boat for an hour.

Such a good (giant) slice of pizza on the boardwalk: spinach, red pepper, goat cheese and zucchini!

Vince liked breaking down any sandcastle Dillon built, all ready to be a big brother!

After time in the sand, he remembered the ocean and ran as fast as his fat feet could carry him to the water.

The water was cold but it didn't stop him. He kept going in even when the waves knocked him over and buried him, we'd pick him up and he'd fight to get back down and run even deeper.

He is a little fish. No fear of water... yikes!

I dug a "Vince Trap" as deep at my knee but he climbed out in one attempt.

Dillon helped make the Vice Trap deeper and he played in it happily for about a half an hour while I watched laughing and Dillon rested his eyes.

Lancaster: A Picture Entry

We want to take full advantage of our time out here on the East Coast which means as many weekend trips as possible. Last weekend we took a trip up to Amish Country.

Kitchen Kettle Village: a cute collection of shops to browse

I love my little giggler!

Vince loves to be up high with daddy where he can wave to everyone

My sweet boys in their rocking chairs

A little too ironic that the restored Amish  farmhouse, barn and farm we toured is now 50 feet away from classic America aka Target.

Playing at the park with mom & dad

We were exhausted by the time we got back to the hotel. Vince was an angel and played quietly in his crib for an hour and a half so we could rest and unwind without having to entertain him.

Dad & Vince milking a cow at the Amish Farm

Buggy! It was cool seeing these all over, especially on Sunday when the Amish guys wear their black hats to take girls on rides around town as a date.

Vincey was fascinated by the goats

After exploring Lancaster we took the 40 minute drive up to Hershey, PA

We went on the free chocolate world ride that showed how they make their chocolate. Vince loved the singing cows and was looking everywhere trying to take it all in.

On the ride

He was captivated

Those reese's were huge! Probably the size of a small bowl.

We didn't buy these thank heavens but did indulge in a small bag of coconut cream filled kisses. AMAZING- why don't they sell those in stores!?
