As usual, the kids found many friends to play with at the beach. They made friends with the kids of the professional lifeguards...this allowed them to use the huge rescue boards at paddle boards and had special access to the "life guard" house. Luke made a friend whose parents even took him to the boardwalk for an extra visit. Adrienne made friends with a few little girls who were collecting jelly fish. I'm confident that Luke was the better judge of character on this trip. For her part, Coco enjoyed the beach in small amounts but also enjoyed watching Dora and Diego in the comforts of air conditioning back at the house. Violet also enjoyed the beach, particularly playing in the transport sled turned baby pool and eating sand.
We took our normal excursions to places like Dogfishhead and Jungle Jim's water park. We took a few different turns at Dogfishhead so that no one had to take their kids :-) Coco really loved the water park and keeps asking to go back. "Shall we go back to the water park today?" I think we went to the boardwalk twice. I know that Fun Land is every kid's dream but I just really don't enjoy it! Luke is now into the phase where he likes to ride to most ridiculously scary rides and I hold my breath while he's on them, hoping his body doesn't go flying out of the contraption. Adrienne, thank God, isn't quite tall enough for the crazy rides but she already wants to do them.
As for other activities, the weather was so nice that it prevented us from taking too many trips to the outlets but Luke and Ade made out as usual with some school shopping with Gma and Gpa. The kids got to learn the fun of a shopping spree! We also had family craft night this year with a tie dye project. We now all have coordinating Dewey Beach t-shirts thanks to Mimi.
The week always goes too quickly but the memories made last forever.
