Ocean City Maryland is the most loved vacation spot for many a years. There are tons of good memories made and more yet to come. I remember my first vacation with the Bumbaugh Family was in August 2001, when I went on a special NANNY BUMBAUGH BEACH TRIP. Kesley, my youngest Bumbaugh niece, was only about 4 months old and so very adorable. I was really glad I went because that ended up being the LAST trip with Nanny to the beach and I was glad I got to experience it. Micah and I were sort of dating at the time. :)
Anyway, so three years ago, we did another Bumbaugh Family Trip and we had so much fun, we scheduled another one summer of 2011. It was the finale to celebrate the Bumbaugh Family Singers as they were retiring. We had tons of fun!!! We even tried to do a sort of winging it photo shoot down by the water, and we had Johnny lined up as our photographer. The above picture was my favorite of all the pictures because it kind of just shows a little of character in each person. . and our personalities are shining through.
We spent everyday on the Beach and then the evenings were up for lots of activity. We mini golfed, rode go-carts, got Henna Tattoos, walked the boardwalk, and of course ate at Phillip's Seafood Restaurant one night and Tommy's Cheese Stix the rest of the evenings.
At one point our guys were all out and in the water, and the waves were rough that day. One life guard came out to Save the group and he was very surfer dude like. He was telling them how he was getting all his buddies together because he thought they were going to have to come out for "a Party Pool, Man" hahaha. The guys all say they were fine but had to laugh about it.
Garrett and Isaac were interested in making sure they rented the umbrellas each day so they could talk to the pretty umbrella girls. And our scopes girl was cute so Micah asked if she would let us take a picture of her with Thomas, Garrett, and Isaac. I think he slightly embarrassed them but not bad enough that they turned down the opportunity. The boys also were really working the boardwalk, trying to get girls numbers. Thomas grabbed Renee by surprise and threw her in the water. Kelsey and Ava played Life Guard and practiced saving each other in the shallow water. Christian simply loved to get buried in the sand every day. Sharon bought her hermit crabs and named them Max and Ruby. Christian and Ava each got tattoos and we all got ice cream almost every night.
Margaret and Harry had a room next to ours, so we literally spent most of our time hanging out between the two rooms, since Grandma brought so much food. One night the girls all had a slumber party in Fawn and Jeff's room and watched Sharon's hermit crabs. Fawn made us a big breakfast one morning and we all went up to eat bacon, eggs, potatoes, and sausage. So yummy.
I love this family!!!
