Tony and Enzo Meet the Peraino Side of the Family

Tony and Enzo Meet the Peraino Side of the Family

On Thursday night, upon arrival in Ocean City, we walked the five blocks to Simpson Avenue to spend time with Grandmom, Poppi, Gia and Uncle Jimmie. 

Not long after we arrived, my cousins from my Grandmother’s side of the family came to visit us from Avalon. Grandmom’s brother, Uncle Sodie; his wife, Aunt Jeannie; and their daughters, Jean Marie and Kathy all dropped by the house.

We had dessert and talked about old times at the shore with family members no longer with us. 

The best part of the night was Tony meeting these cousins for the first time. Uncle Jimmie taught Tony how to say Uncle Sodie before they got to the house so he could surprise him when he got out of the car.

A couple of weeks back, Ocean City was hit with an incredibly rainy day. It came one day after I returned home to take care of some things around the house. I was only gone for 10 hours or so, but it was enough to throw Tony through a loop.

From the minute we woke up the next morning, Tony was all sixes and sevens. He cried, or screamed, most of the morning. Nothing we tried to do with him helped either. We offered to build train tracks, play trucks, watch movies and play games. Nothing pleased him at all. Mind you, he is two-and-a-half right now and right in the middle of the terrible twos. 

It rained all day long and well into the night after Tony went to bed. There is not much to do with a two year old when at the Jersey Shore and it rains as heavily as it did that day.

Good afternoon family, friends and interested readers!

Not long after Enzo was introduced to the 50th St. beach, he made his first trip to the Ocean City boardwalk. Mommy, daddy, Tony, Nonna, Grandmom and Poppi all took Enzo to the boardwalk a couple of weeks ago for the first time.

After an hour or so of messing with the double stroller and trying to figure out which car all of us and the stroller could fit into, we finally made it to the boardwalk.

Good morning everyone!

I know it has been a couple of weeks since a new post has been published, but with a two year old and a newborn roaming around the house, things have been quite busy. 

A couple of weeks ago, Enzo was finally introduced to the 50th St. beach and all it has to offer. Since that night, which was the night of the Super Moon, Enzo has made a couple of trips to the beach with older brother Tony.

Enzo spends most of his time in the jogging stroller underneath the umbrella, but he has had the chance to meet a couple of our beachgoing buddies from the block.
