Family & Fun in Rehoboth Beach

Day 8 – June 4, 2014

Rehoboth Beach, DE

Another busy day!  We kicked it off with donuts and coffee (Dunkin Donuts) in the room and then we were off to meet Grand Ginny for go-carts and mini-golf.   We got to the park early, so I finally let Hunter and Aud ride the go-carts.  Fortunately they were the only people riding – because they were truly battling it out.  Lord help me - those two are so competitive.

Grand Ginny arrived soon after and we played 18 holes of miniature golf.  It got really hot while we were playing – high noon.  The heat produced an element of crankiness in some of the players, who ultimately needed to be ejected from the game.  By the 18^th hole, it was just Ginny and me – she won by two strokes.

Then it was beach time.  We lucked out with the weather, because they were predicting some rain.  It was gorgeous, but the water was cold.  The kids still had fun, even though no one ever truly went into the ocean.  They stood on the shore and watched the waves.  Ginny, Martha and I chatted while the kids buried themselves in the sand.  Then suddenly, Martha says, “Um…Allison, I believe Barrett has something going on.”  Sure enough, I look up and Bear is standing at the water’s edge with his bathing suit pulled down, ready to pee.  Tired calf muscles be damned – I was there in two seconds, pulling up his pants.  Hunter and Audrey were absolutely NO help, because they were laughing so hard.  In that moment, I could have killed them.  Of course, this made Barrett laugh, which made pulling up his pants difficult.  Yes, we left the beach.  Good Lord.

Momma regrouped and we had a fantastic dinner at the Henlopen City Oyster House – highly recommend it.  Then, before we knew it – it was time to say goodbye to Ginny and Martha.  Time just flies byL.  I took the kids to the pool for an hour and then Aud, Cam and I walked over to the bookstore.  I know, I know – but I love it there.
