MORMON BEACH EXTRAVAGANZA 2011

My dear friend, Alicia, and I set out for Ocean City last week with one intention- have the best, most amazing, super fun weekend with our mutual dear Michael. Did we succeed? Um. Yeah. Obviously.

We left Wednesday night and met up with Michael and some of his friends around midnight. Poor Ellie was so tired, but being the superstar she is, she put her game face on and won the room. No. Shock. Then we headed to the hotel and cuddled in for the night. Then, as explained below, we had a strange fire drill situation and a second one around 2:30 that afternoon. Blah, blah. So! Fast forward to the fun!

Thursday was our beach day and after lunch, Ellie and I grabbed a nap. Then we went to Michael's house for some necessary Tony DiPaolo-ing. Yes, that is a verb.

Friday, we drove to Assategue after a failed attempt to visit Frontier Land. We were so lucky to see the wild ponies and enjoy some seriously private beach time. Michael did some mole crab digging and reading to Miss EB. There may have also been copious amounts of ice cream consumed, but I can't speak to that.





[Whirlwind weekend, right?!]

Saturday was spent cleaning Michael's Church meetinghouse and driving to Dover for the Philadelphia Stake Conference at which we was a speaker!!!! Though this was not the original intention of this trip, I think we were all so pleased to be apart of his big night!

T-Rex also terrorized the Boardwalk that evening--

On Sunday, we went to church and then headed home. I know, we Mormons have boundless energy. We also spent about 5 1/2 hours of our trip doing a church-related activity. Yahhhh.

The weekend was so awesome. I felt blessed to spend such quality time with Michael and made a beautiful new friendship with Alicia. There are few times that I have sought out a friend so fervently, but she is one of those. It is a pleasure to have friends that love you, your baby, and want nothing but the love of Heavenly Father for you. Thank you for the fun, guys!! :)
