Tony Shows His Uncles the Rides on OC Boardwalk

On Saturday night, of Labor Day weekend, we went to the Ocean City boardwalk so Tony could do the rides with his uncles. 

Uncle Jimmie, Uncle Kevin and Uncle Chris all wanted to see their nephew enjoy the rides while also doing them with him. We brought Enzo along for the ride and he stayed awake for a little while before finally falling into a deep sleep despite all of the noise and lights.

We began the night with Tony flying a helicopter with Grandmom. Then, we headed over to the train so he could ride with Uncle Kevin, Uncle Chris and Dina.

After the train, Tony rode the Beach Buggy’s with Uncle Jimmie, Uncle Chris and Dina. He smiled on every ride and finished the night by going on the merry-go-round with his favorite girl, Mommy. 

As we started our walk back to the cars, we stopped for some Kohr Bros. ice cream. Tony ordered his, plain vanilla with no sprinkles and no chocolate sauce in a kiddie cup. 

Following the boardwalk visit we went back to the house on Simpson Avenue to have a late-night snack, which was more like a meal, as Tony slept on the couch and Enzo slept in the car carrier on the living room floor.
