Evyn was happy to check out what was left of her castle after the previous night's downpour, but Andrew was done. Without a word, he left the beach, walked down the road, and back to the car- he was ready to go!

Broadkill Beach wrap-up: days 5 - 8
Aunt Lori, Uncle Larry, and cousins Emily & Elisabeth arrived on Wednesday for a two-night stay, and Grams & Pops headed home. Our final days at the shore included more biking, kayaking, swimming, sandcastle-building, and lots more rain and bug bites.
On Saturday, while Scott was packing the trailer to go home, we took a last walk down to the beach.

Broadkill Beach 2011 - days 3 & 4
Monday after breakfast the 7 of us piled in our car and made the 20-minute trip to Rehoboth, to walk the boardwalk, buy Dolle's Saltwater Taffy and Candy Kitchen fudge, eat french fries, and visit Funland.
Tuesday we were back on Broadkill beach for swimming, tubing, kayaking, bug bites, and - later- sunset.

Broadkill Beach 2011 - day 2
Sunday was our first full day at the beach house.
On Saturday we had jammed the car full of supplies and food and toys, and made the three-hour drive to Milton, arriving around 3pm. Our usual vacation spot is a much longer drive, so the short commute was a real plus. Grams & Pops (Scott's parents) and Aunt Chris (his sister) arrived a short while later. After figuring out sleeping arrangements, doing some light cleaning (ugh), and unpacking (ugh, ugh), we took a couple bike rides, and checked out the beach.
Sunday could be summed up like this: RAIN. We couldn't resist riding bikes, and hanging out on the beach anyway. Needless to say, we were all soggy afterward. The rainbow at the end of the day was a good sign, though.

beach pictures - part 5
We've been enjoying a long holiday weekend, full of cookouts, kite flying, gardening, putt-putt, and soccer. The weather is dramatically cooler- beautiful, but it sure makes our week at the beach seem very, very distant. Here's the last batch of sand & surf pictures from Virginia:
