Love it! I grew up in Jersey. We lost Allan on the boardwalk at Seaside Heights. Talk about panic!! We found him in a nearby video game arcade. He must have been 9 or so at the time and was quite the wanderer. We taught him to find someone who works in a store and ask for help if he got lost.

So, we said ...okay...you can stay but we are going to the ocean. Then it was the 21 million questions ...who is going to take care of the dogs, how often will they come in, are they going to walk the dog, the dogs will miss us....etc etc. Then he seemed okay...he hung with his friend all day Saturday..and kept coming in to say "i love you"...then finally he admitted he was nervous and I told him I was too and that was okay. so he calmed down a little bit.Then the morning we were leaving he ran around looking for the tapes he wanted to bring and his phone...but NO Xbox...love it...When we arrived he was a little angry that we could not get in the room right away...he wanted to swim...we walked around the boardwalk for a while and then came back and waited. He kept saying he was bored. And I said...and don't you think I not...I said we have to get use to these things becuase this is real life. When we finally got in ...he jumped into his suit and we went down to the beach...he didn't have flip flops so he tried his dads. He swam in the ocean and had a good time. But when we got back to the room he seemed all sad...he was worried about the dogs again and wanted to go home...he asked for another anxiety pill. I told him to wait and we would calm my neighbor in a little bit. We called and she said the dogs were fine and that made him feel better. After we ate, we walked the boardwalk again and he found a Guitar Hero game and he watched the kids playing it and then got to play it himself....of course he jumped in front of another kid and I apologized and she was just thankful that I noticed and apologized. That made him feel better. The next day ...he told his father to switch shoes with him...the flip flops were killing his feet and so he wore his dad's sandals. He went in the water and then he and his dad got a boggie board...of course he didn't use it to surf in...he used it as a floating device over the waves...hahahahah....he attached himself to this older boy with a tatoo on his leg and his lip pierced but he looked like a decent kid as I saw his parents and all....and it was good for him to talk to others....so he had another great day.That night he got a little fustrated as he could not find a pair of comfortable sock or underwear. He kept trying them on and taking them off...and then he gave up and laid on the bed. We said we would be outside waiting for him.....finally he gave in and found something.But that night when we came home ...he moaned about the sunburn and the rash on his belly.On our last day there...he could not decided what to wear to swim in....his old bathing suit...he said is looked stupid on him or to wear his basketball shorts with his underwear....the rash on his belly hurt and he didn't want to wear the other swimsuit. He put one on then took it off, put the other on and took it off...we gave him all kinds of options...finally I said...we can spend the whole day here in the room ...it doens't matter to me. I am burnt so I don't mind. He then put on his old bathing suit and never said another word about it. He spent the entire day in the ocean except to eat a slice of pizza....he walked the beach looking for crabs. And then he met another boy who was 13 and we ended up staying on the beach till 5:30.

Yeah we lost my son 2x....one night at the boardwalk he said he'd be right back...wanted to throw the paperplate away...we didn't hear him...and all of a sudden we are looking all around and I was look for him in a red shirt...he comes up to us and says ...what's the matter...he was in a brown shirt....and we kind of chuckled.

But when he was in the ocean and we weren't with him ...we would keep an eye on him...it was getting late...around 5 and my husband wanted to go...but my son had just started hanging out with this other kid on their boogie boards and I hated to take him away...so we stayed. I was reading and my husband closed his eyes. The around 5:30 or so the lifeguards blew their whistles that they were going off duty....we saw these kids ...thought it was my son...my husband started walking towards them to tell him to come in but as he got closer he realized it wasn't him...we looked up and down the beach in the water and could not see him....now I started to panic...my husband started to talk to the lifeguard and when he did ...he saw our son digging in the sand with the other boy....what a scare....I knew the lifeguard kept a close eye on everyone and did not let anyone go to far out or beyone certain point to the left and right....but that just made my

heart jump....of course we explained to him....that he needs to tell us where he is....

It had been a long time that i had been "down the shore".

I told him to wait and we would calm my neighbor in a little bit. We called and she said the dogs were fine and that made him feel better. After we ate, we walked the boardwalk again and he found a Guitar Hero game and he watched the kids playing it

and then got to play it himself....of course he jumped in front of another kid and I apologized and she was just thankful that I noticed and apologized. That made him feel better. The next day ...he told his father to switch shoes with him...the flip flops were killing his feet and so he wore his dad's sandals. He went in the water and then he and his dad got a boggie board...of course he didn't use it to surf in...he used it as a floating device over the waves...hahahahah. ...he attached himself to this older boy with a tatoo on his leg and his lip pierced but he looked like a decent kid as I saw his parents and all....and it was good for him to talk to others....so he had another great day.That night he got a little fustrated as he could not find a pair of comfortable sock or underwear. He kept trying them on and taking them off...and then he gave up and laid on the bed. We said we would

be outside waiting for him.....finally he gave in and found something.But that night when we came home ...he moaned about the sunburn and the rash on his belly.On our last day there...he could not decided what to wear to swim in....his old bathing suit...he said is looked stupid on him or to wear his basketball shorts with his underwear... .the rash on his belly hurt and he didn't want to wear the other swimsuit. He put one on then took it off, put the other on and took it off...we gave him all kinds of options...finally I said...we can spend the whole day here in the room ...it doens't matter to me. I am burnt so I don't mind. He then put on his old bathing suit and never said another word about it. He spent the entire day in the ocean except to eat a slice of pizza....he walked the beach looking for crabs. And then he met another boy who was 13 and we ended up staying on the beach till

5:30. He had a good time.And, as we were leaving he said...I wishing we didn't have to go....So, all in all it was a pretty good time!jan
