A Beautiful Fun Filled Beach Day!

I got a bit behind in my blogging, so I will bring our vacation up to day!  Wednesday was a gorgeous day in Bethany Beach!  Lots of sunshine, but mild temperatures and lower humidity!  Ken and I were bike riding by 6:45, riding along Route 26 into Bethany Beach.  We enjoy the quietness of being on the beach early in the morning!  Rode about 6 miles and were back to the Condo by 7:30.  Dane had lifted weights at the clubhouse and everyone was up and excited about the day.  After breakfast, Lanie, Jamie, and I went to play tennis for about 1 1/4 hours.  Lanie has been taking some lessons and was willing to share some tennis info with us.  We really had a good time and my back definitely knows I was doing something out of the ordinary!  The men took the little girls to the playground near the tennis court while we played.

Breakfast time for the little ones!

to the playground next to where the ladies were playing tennis!

Bria and Sam "hiding"!

You jusst want to "squeeze" Katelyn.  She is so adorable!
Spoken like a true Grandma!

We packed lunches and changed to go to the beach.  It is amazing how much "stuff" you need to go to the beach with 6 adults and 4 little ones!  All the girls had so much fun, even 16 month old Katelyn enjoyed the sand and surf.  They were all on the beach from 11:00 to 12:45.  Ken and I decided to stay and enjoy some relaxing time just reading, looking for jewelry shells, and Ken actually took a short nap!  We were back to the condo by 2 and the 3 youngest ones were sleeping.  Bria starts kindergarten on Monday, so she is getting to big to rest!

After showers, we spent the after sitting out back, playing with the girls, and feeding the ducks.  We decided to eat in tonight, so Ken made chicken on the grills and we had oven baked potatoes and a tossed salad. 

The girls look alittle sad.  The ducks decided they had
eaten enough bread and started "waddling" away!

Bria and Cali were enjoying holding and watching the kite.
Sam had enough!

Sam enjoyed looking at the ocean!

PaPa, Grandma, and their favorite Granddaughters!

Time to head back to the car!

She knows how to "strike a pose" already!

By 6:30 we were on the beach at Bethany flying a "Barbie" kite and taking family photos.  The photos were a challenge, but I think we got a few good ones!  Of course it was time for more ice cream before heading back by 7:45.
