Camping and Baseball... two great summer past times

I got to spend a few days with my family while they camped. I had a good time, even though I was pretty sick. I also got some more sun, which I really didn't need. My appetite started coming back (I didn't eat hardly anything for like 3-4 days!), so that was good, because we eat well when we camp. I love Glendale! I have so many fond memories of there growing up. I was just disapointed that no one really plays volleyball in the campground anymore. There use to be some competitive volleyball played there. I really didn't have any energy to play though, so oh well! It was a nice, relaxing time though.

I also got to catch a few baseball and softball games of the boys'... that was also really nice. They did really good in all of their games. Their teams are very lucky to have them! Enjoy the pics!

Ickes Beach Trip 2006

Here are some pictures from the beach trip to Wildwood. We spent a lot of time on the beach, and there were a lot of creatures to find. We found numerous conches, horseshoe crabs, hermit crabs, and other crabs. We also ate some great food and of course went to Cool Scoops for ice cream. One day we went to the waterpark and another up to Cape May to go to the zoo and shops up there, and one night we went up to Atlantic City. Ryan became addicted to the wheel up there...haha. We also spent some evenings on the boardwalk. I would like to apologize to the family though for Ryan and me fighting... sorry! It was a rough week in that aspect, along with getting sick... ugh. And, I am still sick! It was nice to spend time with everyone though, and I miss then all so very much now that I am back here in Buffalo.
