Our first trip with the kids was to Ocean City.
Jade enjoys the merry-go-round.
This ride was like hang gliding.
Haven and Jade fly high.
Haven promised to ride 3 easy rides so Jade would agree to ride the logger.
This was my shot of the kids.
This was theirs.
Jade freaks out on this ride.
I wondered why Ralph wanted to sit on the bench. He was hanging with the babes! I think I heard him tell them "Life is like a box of chocolates..."
Here we cross the Mississippi on our way to New Jersey "The Garden State" The water was high as was the price of the camping at the casino!
The water/light show at Ceasars was great.
Coral spied this strange spider web. They are everywhere along the roads in New Jersey.As we are just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia we decided to see the sites. The buildings were interesting.Here you find the intrepid explorers aboard a double decker bus in Philly much like the colonist must have done.
Rocky was missing from the museum steps!We later found him hiding in his own park near by. Can you find Waldo? It seams that the Museum Society felt the the Statue was "Not Art" and had it removed a few years ago. After public outcry the statue was returned, not to the steps but it's own park near by.
The Canadians dressed Rocky up during the playoffs and suffered the curse of Balboa by losing the next day.
Our tour interrupted a wedding party taking pictures.
Coral thanks the horse for the ride around Philly.On our next visit with the grandkids, we plan to cruise around Philly in the "Duck". This tour floats down the Delaware River as well as exploring the city. While in Pennsylvania we decided to visit the Amish. Our adventure begins here in the little town named, Bird In Hand.
This little guy was at the Plain & Fancy Farm petting area.
Coral and Ralph consider becoming Amish.
Ralph puts his foot down and refuses to give up the hat. He wants to be Amish.
We took a ride in an Amish carriage.
These are Amish children in training.
This family is on a stroll.
Ralph talks the Amish life over with the carriage horse.
Coral considers a Helicopter ride at an Air Craft Museum near our campground.
Coral decides to fly the Space Shuttle instead.
The Brookfield Zoo was nice.
Ralph and I pose by a fountain in the center of the zoo.
This zoo has a dolphin show!
Ralph jumps a frog.
Coral poses by Bison.
There was a Chain Saw Carving Contest going on. These guys have only 3 days to complete their projects.
Big Foot taking shape.
Big Foot completed! It got 7th place.
Coral voted for this guy to win.
The details were amazing. "Spirit of the North" got 2nd.
This one is called "The Waiting Game" It got 6th but won the "Peoples Choice" award.
This bench was difficult.
The zoo will make good use of this bench. It got 7th place.
