Bocce Boyeeeees!

Shaun had to take a nap Sunday morning before our big family trip to The Walk in Atlantic City to get school shoes, so I took Evan and Noah to the playground in Avalon to burn off some energy. The bocce court was open, so we decided to play a few games.

Note that the boys adhered to the true Italian tradition of playing in your bare feet or in yellow socks.

Noah takes the first shot.

Uses a little body english...

And is happy with the result!

Next, it was Evan's turn. Noah is not so happy when it is not his turn. And Evan refused to play after this if I took any more pictures.

Just when the boys were losing interest in bocce, a guy shows up with a remote controlled airplane. They boys loved watching him fly it, and he was nice enough to land it so the boys could see it up close.

They finally went back to playing on the playground. We hit the beach right after this for a while, which was right across the street, to check out the local surf camp. We finished our morning by going on a doughnut hunt. We were successful!
