I & S are all about the beach

 My kids caught me writing about our week at the beach and wanted to add their thoughts.  I love listening to them describe their experience.  And, I always find it amusing what they think are the most important things to share.  Enjoy the following!

IN IAN'S WORDS:

My week at the beach was very fun.  One downside to it was the ice cream on the boardwalk.  It was very disappointing.  George's ice cream was all icy.  Kohr Bros. strawberry-banana was pretty good, but their plain strawberry wasn't that good in my book.  More about food: The funnel cake at Irving Crepes was basically a big box of fried dough, it was not light and airy at all.  But the stawberries on top were delectable.  Steels Fudge Company was very, very good.  Their cookies and cream fudge was definitely my favorite.  Manco & Manco was definitely my favorite pizza place.  They put the cheese first and then the sauce which made it very unique.  But the biggest slice of pizza I had was at Angelo's.  That slice was 2 paper plates big!  The food off the boardwalk was better than the food on the boardwalk.  One morning we went to this place called Uncle Bill's Pancake House.  It was definitely the best pancakes I've ever had.  We also went to this ice cream place called Aunt Betty's.  Yes, Aunt Betty and Uncle Bill are related if you were wondering. 

The rides at the boardwalk were very fun.  I didn't go on all the rides I wanted to go on, but I went on a lot of them.  My absolute favorite part of the week was riding the Surrey.  For about 5 minutes I was the one steering the whole thing, even though we didn't know it. 

Max and I went boogie boarding almost every day except for one.  The waves were very, very huge.  I got a new boogie board while I was there.  And so did Max.  While we were on the beach, there was a big "lake" on the sand where the high tide went up and left water behind when the tide went back out.  Every day Max and I dug a big hole.

Our house was very nice.  Three bedrooms, two baths.  I shared a bedroom with Sam but we had separate beds.  Mom-mom and Pop-pop Jim got the master.  And Mom and dad got the other bedroom. We also had an additional pull-out couch that no one slept on.

I had an amazing time with my family at the beach.  And I'm finished.  So long.

IN SAMANTHA'S WORDS:

Ian is weird. (Yes, this is all she had to say.)
