Fenwick Island 06





What a week! What a Beach! What a vacation! What a family!

I LOVE our family! That was one of my favorite phrases from our family's annual trip to Fenwick Island. Craig said that to me while walking to get ice cream one night. I actually find it hard to write a little about the week. I feel like I did in college trying to get the first paragraph written on a paper. I don't even know where to begin!

We arrived in Fenwick to beautiful weather. We had several wonderful beach days at the beginning of the week. Karis couldn't get enough of the waves. She loved jumping the waves! Joshua was fickle. He would love the beach and water for ten minutes, then he couldn't handle it any more!! He would be laughing while walking and playing in the sand, and then cry if he had to touch it any more! We couldn't figure it out.

We took many walks down to the local Dairy Queen - a family favorite. Or really, a Daddy favorite! We actually surprised Karis one night and after putting the children to bed, got just her back up and went down to Dairy Queen. She was so surprised and a little confused too. I was skeptical that she would go to bed for the second time (especially after Ice Cream!), but my husband's plan was wonderful and she went to bed without complaint.

We had a lot of fun times with the extended family. Karis and her cousin Aaron got along very well for small children. Joshua thought everything belonged to him and claimed ownership of Aaron's popper push toy for the week. Aaron shared the toy very willingly for a 20 month old! Aaron figured out the art of annoying little girls - and he is not even two yet! He walked around right behind Karis trying to touch her. This drove Karis CRAZY! And we would hear her squawk and shriek in annoyance. It was rather humorous for all the rest of the adults.

More photos to come soon...

The picture of Karis with a crab on her plate is priceless. Did she eat it?

she actually did and loved it! Her Maryland Mommy had to pick it for her, but she loved the taste of the crab meat!
