Rehoboth Beach

Once again we went to Rehoboth Beach. My parents' neighbor offered his place again to us so my mom, me and the kids went down for 4 days. Paul even came this year and spent one night with us. Boy was that room crowded! It's a studio room that only sleeps 4 but with blow up beds and Zach's crib we squeezed 7 people in there for one night, 6 people the other nights. Here's a few pics from the first day we were there, Monday.

Ice cream time for Megan.

On Tuesday Paul came down. We spent some time on the beach, hung out in the room so Zach could take a nap then went to Grotto's and did some shopping on the boardwalk.

What happened to my kids?

Wednesday morning was foggy so we didn't get out on the beach until later. Not long after we were on the beach we heard thunder and felt raindrops. Luckily there were no storms but the sun kept coming and going and eventually we just gave up and packed our stuff up. Zach did get to play with his new dump truck we bought him on the boardwalk the night before.

Got all 4 kids in this picture! Lauren remembered to bring her ipod to the beach today.

Zach showering off before going to the room. He's trying to get the sand off his belly!

After Zach's nap we headed to Funland to ride some rides. I don't think Zach was quite awake yet, he didn't look very excited in any of the pictures. He did have fun though.

Kristin and Lauren rode something that flipped them upside down.

I can't believe Zach was big enough to ride FreeFall. It's the ride that takes you up and drops you, over and over.

A closer up look after a drop. Look at Lauren holding onto his leg, that's something I would do!

Megan really wanted to ride the Sea Dragon (also known as the Pirate Ship) but none of the sisters wanted to go with her. So guess who went? She kept coming out of her seat so here I am holding her head.

On the way back to the room we stopped to get a group photo. Well almost a group photo, someone had to take the picture.

So Paul left to go home Wednesday after dinner and after he left we just stayed in and watched some shows on tv. Here's Zach jumping on Kristin after we let him out of his crib Thursday morning.

I took Megan, Kristin and Zach to the pool Thursday when they opened while Mamaw and Lauren cleaned what they could of the room. After the pool we strolled the boardwalk one last time, did our last minute shopping, then came back and ate lunch. I loaded up the car while the rest of the cleaning was done and then we were out of there.

It was a fun trip, our first time to the beach in '09. What I love about that place is that it's right on the boardwalk and for 4 days I didn't have to drive anywhere. Between the beach, the pool, the boardwalk and Funland we kept ourselves occupied. Thanks Mamaw for taking us again this year.
