Enjoying the gorgeous weather

As you'll see in this post, we took full advantage of what gorgeous weather we've had over the past few weeks (ironically, I write this as it's down pouring outside right now).

Anyway, two weekends ago we were back in OC, NJ.  We've started a little tradition of taking Claire up to the boardwalk as soon as she wakes up since she can be pretty loud and chatty in the morning and it's usually early (we don't want to wake everyone up).  

So we head straight up in our pajamas.  Claire usually has free reign on the boards that early in the morning with plenty of room to run around so it's nice.

And the past few weekends have been pretty gorgeous...

We lounged on the couch...

And watched some TV (very intently).

We went for a bike ride.

And walked on the boards some more....checking out some of the surfers.

And waving to everyone who walked by.

 

Chatting up a storm as always.

Waving some more.

And chatting...

And trying to catch up with Daddy.

We took a ride on the carousel...still can't tell if Claire likes it or not.

We hung with cousin Lil'.

And Claire's favorite, "Baby".

Baby got a new stroller...we put Baby in and tried to show Claire how to push her around but Claire ripped little baby right out of that stroller and tried to climb in herself.  She doesn't quite get it that the stroller isn't for her.

 Since she's too big to fit IN the stroller...she likes to sit ON the stroller.  Silly girl.

Besides trying to steal Baby's stroller, she loves hugging and kissing her. Ahhhhh.

She loves feeding Baby.

Even in the middle of walks.  Guess she was really hungry.  This looks like a good spot.

We checked out the dog park.

And hit up the playground. Sliding...

And swinging... 

Check out those teeth.

We went for walks in the park.

She's really getting around good now.

We found some interesting rocks and twigs we tried to put in our mouth.

We stopped for a family pic.

And by far my favorite, a quick smell of the flowers which she just loves to do. :)
