Beach Blog: Day 3

Today was a little cloudy in the morning, so we decided to take a walk down the promenade along the beach rather than spending some time on the beach (and getting very sandy). We took Owen to the arcade and played some Skee-ball. Owen really liked the flashing lights and noises in the arcade.

Even though it was a little cloudy out today, it was very humid and warm. We couldn't even stand sitting in the shade on the lower deck. So, we spend some time hanging out inside in the air conditioning. Owen really likes the L-shaped couch in the living area of the rental. It has lots of pillows and room for Owen to crawl all around on it (he's a little monkey). And after he's done climbing all over us and the couch, he likes to just chill out.

Finally, we decided to brave the heat, so we walked to the amusement park, which is only a few blocks away. We took Owen on the merry-go-round. Daddy got on with him, sat him on a horse, and buckled him in (and kept a tight hold on his outfit). Owen grabbed onto the pole expectantly. And when the ride started, he squealed with glee. He had a wonderful time as the horse moved up and down - just watching everything and taking it all in as the ride spun around. Mommy said that he looked so cute that she was smiling so much that her face hurt!

Then took Owen by a playground for his first ride on a swing! And of course he loved that also!

Finally, in the evening, we took and walk down to the promenade where they were having a concert. The music wasn't great (band 70's covers), but the kids were having a good time dancing around.
When Abby wanted to get on a little ride at the arcade in the evening, Owen got to ride the horses also. He loved it - even though he was pretty tired at that point in the evening. See the video below.
