Ocean Slip n Slide
by Monmouth Beach, NJ
Just what it sounds like. A slip n slide, and an ocean. Together. And if all else fails, there is always beach volleyball.
Exit 117 on NJ Pkwy. Take Route 36 (bear left after the exit tolls) all the way down to the beach. Pass Sandy Hook and keep going. You'll go through the town of Sea Bright-passing a 7-11. Go a couple of miniutes further and you will see the Monmouth Beach Educational Center-a white building w/ a little steeple/tower watch thing-on your right. There should be orange cones around too. park in that parking lot then walk across the street and over the sea wall. Call my cell or Andrew's if you don't see us.

Ooooh..Ophelia's band is playing that night, do you think I can get out of it for this!?
well what time are they playiing? you can leave the beach in plenty of time to make it to the show if it's later at night
This is a good point! YES! Good times for all.
Sorry, just made plans for that day last night. Have a good time though!

hahaha yeah, i figured you were going seeing as we planned it together.
haha yeah i really wanna do it, hopefully I can make it! that weekend is lookin pretty busy i might actually possibly not be around............ we'll see!

well it was actually my husbands idea, hehe, i passed it on like a relay racer
yeah i duno, it's one of the last weekends that my family from Poland is here, and i might be going away for the weekend with the fam..maybe
im too fat for this, i might just sit and laugh at everyone tho
get over it
Mike you bum just come.
i'll go if mike will go, and i'll bring a surprise...
haha uh oh. mike, you have to go. i can't stand the suspense already
is it a surprise that the younger members of eZabel can see? he he he he .... member... he he he he
it's fun for the WHOLE family. Everyone will enjoy it's benefits..
I didn't know you were going to post this as an event, but I guess I should have. lol
I'm not sure if I'm gonna go it depends on if I feel like driving there after my ASL class which doesn't get done till 1:30.
ugh do i have to beat you? you missed volleyball good times last time too
DOH! You got me there. We better play some volleyball too while we are there. I still think we need to have a volleyball matchup of Jackie, Elise, and me verse you and Joe. I'll be flying all over the court. lol
i'm so in. and so is what's-her-name.
oh is she coming? that's cool you'll have fun.
hey what IS her name? HAHAHAHA
my name is mike, and IIIIIII have feelings TOO you know!
i'm gonna be on vacation.. sounds fun though
ill be just getting over surgery so wont be a good idea for me to be slip and sliding then wont be in a mood for with bein all medicated up with medicine
I could sure go for some beach volleyball.
are you bringing a bloody faced volleyball..
Sounds fun. :-
thanks for the invite - the beach is always very cool, slip and slide, very very cool. ;)
hmm, it sounds like ALOT of fun, but I really should be out in service, I need to make my hours this month...
Come after service. I have my ASL class and I'm just going to go afterwards.
perhaps, I can, but I live up by Ian...so it'd be a long drive...I'll definitely think about it.
Oh ok. Well if you can make it do because there will be good times had. lol
Hey Janine did Eddie invite you guys over to his house for a barbecue thing that he is supposed to be having?
I had to change my response to a maybe - My grandparents invited us for dinner that day - I really love hanging out with them. Maybe we could meet up with you guys later...
nooooooooo have dinner w/ them the next day
They're having my brother and sister-in-law over saturday too. I'll wait and see what Donovan wants to do; how badly he wants to play volleyball. My grandparents live in Jamesburg, so we'd see you guys that night anyway.
WHO is bringing the slip and slide? It better be there..
calm down skippy. i've assigned that task to you. i wasn't going to tell you and then when you got there and didn't know we'd all be mad and jump you. thanks for ruining it.
aww, i wish i could come! but i'll be in seldom worked
i will let you know how much fun i personally have while you're being lame.
why am i being lame? because i'm going to seldom worked? riggggght!
Ok, i'm confused. is the ocean the slip and slide? are we going to slip and slide into the ocean? Wouldn't we just hydroplane on it for a bit then sink? Can i make older, more fragile-boned people slip and perhaps slide on parts of the beach?
Jesse you totally need to change your maybe to attending. lol
haha, i'm not 100% yet, only about 98%. :P
I need directions too!
If I get you directions will that increase it to 99.9% or just 98.5%? lol
I gave this event some thought, and I'm getting wary of this.
First of all, Slip N Slide requires a hose. Any body got a hose long enough to reach to the beach? Sure we can use sea water, but running water is a little bit better than dumping buckets of water in the slip and slide.
Second...does anyone realize that high speeds; plus hot, searing sand; plus bare skin equals a bloody mess?
It seems everyone has thrown caution to the wind...and that's my job.
buckets of water will be enough as long as it's kept wet.
Plus for stuff like this I'm Janine's test dummy. lol
but sea water is slippery from the salt (and little jellies that have been floating around). Have you ever tried grabbing someone who is wet from ocean water? slippery like an eel. Plus we will bring a couple of items to help us slide along if necessary.
i'm not sure exactly how fast YOU can run, but i wouldn't classify this as high speed. and a little sand rash never killed anyone. besides, we had already decided to bring some inner tubes to use instead just in case of that scenario.
I will say though, that to my knowledge, this is not a tested and proven form of good times. i don't know for sure how well it will work. but we're willing to pioneer it. and if it doesn't work, abandon it for beach volleyball and some rounds of "super eat it" and "fat mermaid"
what happenes if it rains, i wish i could go but ill be just recovery surgery so i wont be able to go :(
hehe, if it rains no worries about the buckets to keep the slide wet!
Yeah that's for sure. lol
That would sure solve the problem of keeping it wet. lol
i had to change the time to 11:30.-forgot we had the co changed to this week. gotta put in an appearance for sat. morn service. but we can stay at the beach as long as we want.
Man i'd go but the band's playin a show that day...which by the way you're all invited to - it's up in stockholm NJ, message me if'n you're intersted
Janine I think we need to smack Mike, he's a maybe yet again when he should be attending. I think it's time to give him a beat down.
ok...apparently i told the wrong person about this whole plan...because now my sister wants to come...
might i add, this is the same sister who ended up injured from manhunt (courtesy of one michael schiano)
Leave it to mike to do something like that. lol
why does this ALWAYS come up... listen dude... im hardcore, what can i say.
remember when i told that girl she was going to the hospital and might even die and she believed it!?!?
i was there but didnt see anyone from thie group of course its hard when idont know what any of u look like i sat by the volleyball net and had a blue boogie board there . oh well maybe ill meet up with some of u some other time
i had a great time and never even got wet! and i got to talk to katie! it was awesome.
that does make ANY day great, doesnt it?
Did you get there after I left?
yeas yeas the beach was quite beautiful yesterday - I had a good time... and saw a LIVE band last night. woo hoo.
oom duh duh kwalabee
