A beach day in Oct. 10/4/09. Too chilly for swimming!!!

A familiar sight. We had a last ditch effort to enjoy the beach in October. If you notice the lady perched up near the sand dune, she's there because it's chilly and that is a warm spot. It wasn't freezing but it was too cold to go in the water. We only made it to the beach at Ocean Grove twice this past summer. Because there was so much rain, it pretty much ruined our beach days. For the first time, I bought a season pass, to only use it once. When we went to the beach in Oct. the beach was free because it was after Labor Day. Oh Well!!! We'll try again next summer.

The kite!!!!

With a little guidance from a fellow beachgoer, Stacy and Antonio got their kite up in the air.

Ocean Grove never fails to afford me an endless supply of great sky photos. This cloud looks like a tornado. Or a plume of smoke.

This cross is on the beach in Ocean Grove. It seemed the sea gulls stopped for a quick prayer as they made their way along the beach.

I think the top of this building looks like the top on a cruise ship.

Entrance to the old Casino. This and other buildings will be awesome when they are refurbished.

Pilgrim's Pathway where we stopped to rest on a the bench below.

We're a bit tired at the end of our walk. Taking a rest before going for our ice cream at Day's, our new favorite ice cream parlor in Ocean Grove. We love sitting on their porch.
