A NY Beach

We visited the beach yesterday, or what NY calls a beach! My california-girl-snobby-self wants to say that was not a beach. But it actually wasn't all that bad. I liked that it wasn't salt water, that there were trees, which means shade!! Also, there was a playground which was fun for Jed :) It's been rough few days so it was nice getting out and just relaxing. There was absolutely no one there which was the cherry on top. The only thing that would have made this day better is a stop by the fruit stand (cough, cough). 

 We might have had more fun than Jed on the swings. RJ was so excited that they were long chains.

 These two will go in any water, anywhere, no matter the weather. AND throw rocks for hours :)

                         ^^^We found a fish and it was just the best thing ever for Jed.^^^

 ^^^Not sure if you can make out the tiny tadpoles. Ummm, yeah. Thats why I wouldn't put anything but my feet in.

 The tiniest, cutest, shells.

 This guy! He has been driving me crazy with the amount of energy he seems to have, and never run out of. Also the amount of whining and tantrums (good grief)! I chant to myself to stay strong and that it will get better if I don't give in. So stay strong mommas, you're not alone. We're all crying in a corner together. So this day at the beach was a nice break. Also, just love having RJ with me to fight the good fight.

New York State Fair

We took a mini road trip to the state fair on Friday! We had so much fun, even though it was southern California hot! I'm sharing a few pictures of our day below. 

 We forgot the sunscreen, so yeah. We would try and find shade wherever we could. ha.

^^This was cool! ^^

 You are here. hahaha. Here is where you are. Except it doesn't tell you where on the map!

 ^^^^ That is Jeds first picture, that he took all on his own with my phone!!! ^^ This is the one I made him take afterwards.

 ^^^Ummm, he can't read yet, or tell that things are upside down. That right there is $.50 milk. I think it was our favorite part.

 The food was really good. We had dinosaur BBQ! Which we have heard good things about.

I'm not sure he knew this was not a real horse. But this one is!!

 That thing on the lest is actually a rabbit!! Looked more like a cat.

He pretty much looked at all the rides like that. Too bad he couldn't get on any of them :/

We stopped by a fruit stand on the way home! We had a really great time, despite forgetting the sunscreen. I think we agreed that we liked it more than the LA fair. Mostly because everything was about half the price. ha.
