August 2009 with the Girlies - Aunt Pam and New and Improved Gary at the Jersey Shore
So after my sister and Uncle Garf left, we headed down to Bay Head, New Jersey to stay at Julian's vacation house, as the girls call it. Kim's sister Pam and her husband, New and Improved Gary, came to spend about 5 days with the girlies and enjoy the beach.
Pam is delightful and she and Gary are very happy together - I was actually only there for a couple of days because I had to go back and work for the Germans, but Kim stayed down the girlies for the entire week and they had a great time.

Now please enjoy some photographs:

Pam gave the girlies their first pedicure - she wanted to charge an extra $10 for a 10-minute foot massage but the girlies had a coupon
Painted feet and the New York Post
Playing with umbrellas - a regular occurrence
Aunt Pam squeezed between the girlies car seats - Kim is getting a new car next month that has almost 3 more cubic inches of space, so we are very excited. Plus, it's a hybrid, which ought to shut the dirty hippies up for a while.

At the Lakeville Blue Claws Game - Pam has a very nice smileAmelia singing very cutely - this is a song called 'Taxi' from their music class this summer. It is a very New York-y song about city kids hailing a taxi - hence the name (one of my father's later wives, the vile and wretched Sandy, used to use the word 'hence' a lot, although she usually used it incorrectly. She would say "That's germs on the shower curtain. Hence, you should clean it." Or "The salt shaker should be placed exactly in the center of the table and never moved, even if you need to use the salt. It is not to be moved and it must stay exactly where it is at all times, even in the event of a cataclysmic natural disaster. Hence, I am a despicable moron." Well, she probably didn't say that last bit, but that's how it sounded to me). The girlies sing this song all the time and usually come up with alternative lyrics, as is the case here when Amelia decides to sing about Mac and Cheese halfway through.
Now Sally's turn
Kim having a chat about pizza and counting with the girlies on the deck at Gene and Stacie's house in Bay Head. One of my favorite things in the world is that when Sally counts she says "One, Two, Pree, Pour, Pive!" I don't want her to ever grow out of that because it is so delightful.
