Vacation at the Beach!

We're back! We spent the past week at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. It took about 9 hours to get there. Whoever invented the dropdown dvd player is a true genius!! The kids are only allowed to watch it if the ride is more than an hour so it's a special treat. It kept the ride *fairly* peaceful! In the week that we were there, we only took the car out once - to the outlet malls for some back to school clothes! The rest of the time we walked everywhere, spent hours at the beach each day (PERFECT weather) and just had a great time.

I think Ana should be the next Vitamin water model!

Lewis spends almost all of his time at the beach standing where the water can splash him. He LOVES when the wave water recedes and makes him feel like he's being pulled into the water. Last year, Elly would not get anywhere near the water. This year I asked her if she would get her feet wet with me and she reluctantly agreed. One wave and she was hooked!

Elly also spent a LOT of time looking for (and obsessing over)shells.

What beach vacation would be complete without the boardwalk amusement park......well mine would.





Our hotel also had a pool - we swam there every day and the girls all went underwater. which for them is significant! The kids agreed that they would like to go back next summer and stay for a month!!! Save your pennies my little friends!
