Prior to starting our vacation, we decided to have a small cook-out at our new house; however, it was slightly derailed by the boys being attacked by bees! Pop-Pop came just in time to set up a triage station on the back of his truck and help the boys recover.
Then Pop-Pop took Evan fishing at the ditch down the road, where Ev caught 14 fish!
One of his proud catches.
On Tuesday, we headed to Bethany Beach for a family vacation. Pop-Pop helped Ryan get warmed-up to the big indoor pool.
Lina and Caden splashing around.
Ev and a Momma.
Ry splashing me with his feet...
The lifeguards on duty - Halmoni and Lina.
On Wednesday morning, we headed to the beach. It was a little windy (to say the least), and we spotted some dolphins!
Sand and surf.
Cousins! Ev, Ry and Caden in the hole Aunt Lina dug out for them.
Caden... a.k.a. Trouble. :o)
After naps, we headed to the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk for some rides. The boys enjoyed the boats - Caden, in the boat behind them, was not so sure...
Merry-go-Round with Halmoni and Pop-Pop!
The fighter planes are a must, and Evan's favorite!
Caden had more fun when his momma could ride with him! She certainly looks like she's having fun, no?? :o)
Tea cups in action!
Then, some dinner at Grotto's - another must on the Boardwalk.
A daddy and a Ry-Ry being silly.
Josh likes to wreak havoc by showing the boys how to throw french fries at the seaguls. The pictures does zero justice in showing how freaky close those birds were to us...
Then we tried our hand with the boys playing mini-golf. While Ry lost interest around hole 3, Evan did really well! I think we have a new activity to add to the beach scene...
We took to the beach again on Thursday, but a walk down the beach lead to a tired and cold Ry being carried.
Evan's activity of the week was shoveling sand and throwing it in the surf. Continuously.
Maybe next time, it'll be a little warmer for our Ry-Guy.
Ta-da! An entire sand fort built by Ev, Daddy and Pop-Pop!
Thursday night, we hit up the Boardwalk again - this time with the Judy clan. The boys take on the swings - Jack, Ry, Ev and Isaac.
Since we weren't sure Ryan would stay put in such a large vehicle, I rode with the boys.
As cold as it was, we still needed ice cream.
Not sure if it was the cold beach days, busy week, or Boardwalk germs that resulted in Evan being sick, complete with fever, goosebumps, and lots of coughing...
Ry was sick too, but took it like a champ. Nevertheless, we went home earlier than anticipated on Friday to start the boys on their nebulizers.
Friday night we visited Jared and Gina's campsite at Killen's Pond for a cookout.
And visited a neighboring camper's beagle puppy. He was 14 weeks old and SOOOOO stinking cute!
On Saturday night, the kiddos making a complete mess of themselves on this dirt pile in front of our new house.
We ended the weekend spending time with and appreciating our dads. I guess we were too busy to take any pictures, but it was a great Father's Day! :o)
