Laraway Family

Well, after naps, Jim,Heather, and Samantha Petolicchio arrived for the evening. We chatted at the house, drank some beer and headed off to.....WILDWOOD, NEW JERSEY! If you've never been, it's a beach town with a VERY long boardwalk with three branching piers off of it. Each pier has an amusement park and water park, and the boardwalk is loaded with shops, food places, and craziness. So, the first "ride" we hit was to ride on the Monster Truck, "Jersey Devil." The boys were thrilled!

Next, we headed to the piers for bigger rides. Anthony and I rode a huge wooden rollercoaster, VERY FUN. Here is Starks riding with Sam on the Scramble.

The boys playing their second round of a water gun game to win the penguin stuffed animal- which Chas has adopted for himself.

And, as the evening drew on, we rode more rides to use up the tickets. I think we ended up leaving some time after 10 and got to the house close to 11pm. Again, trying to keep the boys on Pacific time, but they still kept waking on Eastern time!

We had a great time visiting with the Petos, and it was nice to chat and hang out all night. Thank you so much for coming down to see us, and we know it was a later night for you guys. Thanks!
