Delaware

We enjoyed a great weekend in Delaware, visiting family and, of course, the beach. We stayed two nights with my cousins, Bill and Nannette and their son, Caleb. Friday, at Lewes Beach, where there aren't many waves, the kids were able to get used to the idea of swimming in the ocean. We arrived just as a storm was blowing past. After a neat cloud display, and watching it rain out on the ocean but not hit us, the sun eventually came out. Saturday we headed out to Rehobeth Beach in the afternoon. We did get rained on there. But we still got to dig in the sand seaching for crabs and jump in the waves (really only Abi did that...it was pretty chilly) before the rain came. As we drove to Delaware on Friday, Abi was sure that she was NOT going to swim in the ocean because of the whales. This video's kinda funny because you can hear her exclaim about there not being any whales, hooray, hooray, hooray!



I don't have any pictures of this, but Nannette, Abi, JD and I went for a hike around a pond and saw a black ratsnake climbing up a tree. Nannette and Abi were bold enough to go poke at it and touch it's tail. That has certainly been Abi's story to tell everyone since we've returned home.
