Today we made a trip to Bethany Beach in Delaware. How is the beach ever not worth a 6 hour round trip? It was a little over crowded for my taste, but the boys all raved about how much better the waves were, and there was a Sonic on the way home which provided me a very tasty strawberry vanilla Dr Pepper, so this beach has earned the number one spot on our list of best beaches around.
It is always so relaxing to get out of the house, and lay around in the sun all day making sand castles, and splashing.
I am pleased, and a bit surprised, to report that Syphr did not eat one hand full of sand the entire day. Maybe he learned the first 5 times? What he did do, however, was steal the neighbors sand toys, which displeased the two year old and 4 year old owners of said sand toys. He also spent a large chunk of the day splashing in the waves with no fear of how deep, or how cold the water was. Love this beach baby!
Talan was not a water fan today. Instead he filled countless buckets with sand only to dump them out and fill them back up again.
Ashton spent the day in the water, somewhere in the midst of people, attempting to fight the waves off with a giant crab leg he found that much resembled a Harry Potter wand. When he was not in the water, he was rolling his soaking wet body in the sand to warm up. No towels needed for this kid.
This is his attempts at making a sand angel.
We also had a family 'bury Ashton and recreate The Awakening' moment when he came ashore for his sand rolling warm up minute.
Pretty close to the real deal!
We sure do love the beach, and as much fun as it is for the whole family, Brad and I were a tiny bit jealous of the people that were able to sit in their chairs under the shade of an umbrella and enjoy the breeze and sound of the waves crashing while reading a book. There was no sand or sea water all over their towels, they didn't have to look constantly for the whereabouts of their children. Relaxation at its finest. Maybe someday that will be us.

Looks great! Have you been to Chincoteague, VA?? They have horses that roam the beach- it's so cool to see!
super fun. liked the hint to brad. wouldn't it be nice to just SIT for a minute? :)
also, i agree with incarmitage. the bay bridge is a pain, but assateague and chincoteague are absolutely gorgeous, not crowded, and the "wild" ponies are super fun.
