Another Apt Title: Delaware Shore 2009

Perhaps you heard we got to go out of town again? Rich's brother and sister-in-law invited us to join them and Rich's other brothers and sister at the Delaware Shore this last week. Rich had to stay and work (because someone's got to pay for our gas), but the kids and I headed out last Thursday. When we arrived at the rental we found out Darkstar Orchestra was playing at the bar across the street that night. Here's their tour bus. Such a close brush with fame!


However, as the girls and I sat on the front porch enjoying the music, my mind sort of wandered. The conversation with self went something like this, "Hmmmm. When was my last dead show? I'm pretty sure it was 1992. Wait. What's this year? 2009? Really!!!???? 17 fricking years???!!" Anywho.

Shall we look at the pictures of the kids?

Would anyone be surprised to hear Atlee loved the ocean?

She really, really loved the ocean. Even when a big wave knocked her down and under, it didn't diminish her love of the ocean.

Here's she's telling Rich on the phone that this is the best vacation ever! And that was after just one day at the beach.


The next day, Uncle John buried Shea in the sand.

He left his head out.

Greeley thought the whole thing was rather odd.

And then she did a little surfing on her big brother.

And we'll finish out with a picture of Greeley enjoying all the sand.


I suppose I should go do some dishes now. My husband apparently didn't know how to operate the dishwasher while I was gone.
