New Jersey and fun

 We flew to New Jersey (took up a whole row on the plane) and the only car available to pick up 6 of us was...a limo!!!  What a fun surprise.

 We enjoyed spending time with grandpa at his house.  Here are the 3 Carls!

 Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

 Grandpa let us run in the sprinklers :)

 Aunt Carol came for a visit and went jogging too.

 Here we are at the WWII Memorial Park.

 We got to spend 2 weeks at the Jersey Shore in Ortley Beach.  It was beautiful!

 Donuts!

 We were sad because we miss our Grandma--we had a memorial for her and afterwards took some time for photos together.  Here's Grandpa and Carol:
