ocean shores part 1

We usually spend the night at the ocean at least once during the fall/winter season. We especially enjoy the winter rates and lack of people. We like to stay at the Canterbury because they have an indoor swimming pool plus offer 50% off on weeknights plus they have 1 or 2 bedrooms rooms available. We splurged for a one bedroom for the first time ever hoping it would help the boys sleep better, but I'll share more on the little bit of sleeping that went on later.

When Justin made the reservation they asked if we were celebrating any birthdays or anniversaries so he told them Cohen's first birthday was coming up. They put it out on their reader board, lucky birthday boy!


Monday was surprisingly nice there, it didn't rain at all. We had to take advantage of the nice weather so we sent the boys out in the big grassy lawn to play. I'm glad we thought ahead and got a first floor room, it made it so convenient to play outside and it was quick to walk to the pool too. Judah got tangeled up in the kite tail, had fun kicking the ball around, and did some bike riding. Cohen followed Judah around, ate some grass, and tackled his brother a few times.





After that we headed to the pool. The boys were both very excited to find that someone had left some balls in the pool. One of Cohen's new words is ball so it was fun to hear him exclaim "ball!" over and over again. On the car ride down there Judah kept talking about his race car jacket. We had no idea what he was talking about until we went to go swimming and he grabbed his life jacket. It's definitely a race car jacket! Silly dad and mom.
