A calf is born!

While visiting our family up in Pipersville PA, we were fortunate to see a newborn calf out in the pasture. Amazing that the calf was born right onto the ground in the snow. It's always an adventure when we drive up to the farm!

The little one still not ready to stand yet, but was trying.

Ava with the proud new mama!

Maddie and Dani enjoyed the fresh snowfall

Elena found her barn cats!

 

 

No barn is complete with out a crowing rooster.

 

Ava and Maddie were showing me all of the cows.

Ocean City boardwalk

Monday evening we went over to the Ocean City Boardwalk.

We couldn't wait to get our funnel cake...

Then it was over to the Wonderland Pier.

 

Maddie and mom rode the log flume...

Steve and Elena rode the roller coaster...

And of course you can't miss the bumper cars...

They were making taffy at Shrivers.

 

We bought our Taffy and Johnson's popcorn.

Maddie was so happy with her purchase.

Beach and Baseball

We finally made it to the beach today! It was a great NJ beach day and I enjoyed a long walk down to Longport.

My crazy teenagers...

Tonight Maddie and I went up to a Phillies game with Poppy.

 

Poppy enjoyed his sub sandwich.

 

The game was disappointing... The NY Mets won the game 3-2.
