Vacation 2014, Day 5 – Let the Games Begin!
Posted By pamelamyers on July 14, 2014
Wednesday night we decided to go to the Promenade to let the kids play arcade games together. Sam and Maddox had fun climbing on Adam and grabbing for the iPad before we left.
As much as she wanted to go play games, the beach wore her out. She wanted a piggyback ride so her dad obliged!
As soon as we got to the arcade, Sam saw the crane games and she desperately wanted a toy. I am horrible at the money sucking games, but Mark has somehow gotten to be rather proficient so he gave it a go.
You can see from the enormous hug Mark got that was successful. Blue frog in hand, off Sam went to play more games.
Maddox loves the arcade too, but I guess what kid wouldn’t with the promise of prizes at the end?
Basketball is one of Sam’s favorites and Maddox played too. He seemed to be doing very well!
My favorite is always skeeball. I love that game. I swear, I could dump a mint in there. The longer I play, the better I get, so it’s worth it! Everyone got in on the fun. I think we had every lane!
Sam tries and tries, but can’t throw/roll the ball hard enough to get it to the end.
We play this spider game every time we come to Sea Isle with her. This year, she did so much better than last year.
Mark and his dad played a more grown up arcade game – air hockey. I’m not sure who won, but they were playing pretty fiercely!
Now it’s Sam’s turn at basketball. She shoots…
Nothing but net!
Sam quickly found the game where you just spin the wheel, Price is Right style, and whatever it lands on, you get that many tickets. She got lucky and hit big quite a few times. She loved her big strip of tickets!
Maddox cashed in his tickets and showed us all of his prizes.
Sam had her bag of goodies too and before we left, she rode some of the little rides out front.
Krista and her dad hung out outside for a while. I don’t think arcade games are really Ryder’s speed.
On the Promenade, we saw this bench and Sam and her Pop Pop took a rest together.
We made a stop at the turtle, where we always take some photos. Sam loves visiting the turtle and makes him talk in cute little voices. He missed her.
It was truly a beautiful night to take photos with our beautiful girl.
Homebound. Tomorrow is another day!
