We just returned from a week vacation at Bethany Beach. We were blessed to have my dad, Dad Dan, and 2 of my sisters families, Dana & Kim, join us. We not only got to spend a BEAUTIFUL week at the beach ... we also got to enjoy watching one of my childhood friends get married. Everything this week ran smooth .... therefore, I will call it a successful vacation! I will say ... we took over 2000 pictures, so these are just a few of the ones of my family.
(My sisters are getting copies of all the pictures and can share their families pictures if they would like to.)
The view from the top floor of our condo. It was so gorgeous!
Our first outing was, of course, THE BEACH! We had a nice calm day, so the kids really enjoyed playing in the water. The water was really cold, I can't believe the kids could even stand getting wet!

Back at the condo ... enjoying the small & very cold pool!
The kids all got along really well and occupied themselves with boardgames most of the time.

The girls, being cute.

We took everyone to the boardwalk at Ocean City. Aunt Dana was so excited to show her girls where she spent a lot of her teenage years. We ate Thrashers French Fries and lunch at a local bar and headed to the games & rides. Everyone had a great time, even the parents!

We played this game enough times to win them all pillow pets!
Back to the beach, early one morning. It was such a beautiful morning. We were there for a few hours and didn't even get hot. We were missing some of our family members ... but the younger ones had a great time.

We sat next to this sand castle ... and later on the guy started to build another one (but we didn't get to see the finish product).
My cool Riley!
What a fun day at the beach.
Next, we had the rehearsal dinner for our friend Jodi & Keith's wedding. We got ready with enough time to get some pictures of everyone.
Friday was the wedding day ... we went to lunch at our friends favorite place, where there were tons of people that were going to the wedding. It was fun, but made us rush on getting ready for the wedding. We didn't get as many pictures on the wedding day, but everyone looked so nice.

Thank you, Jodi & Keith, for picking such a lovely place for your wedding. We all enjoyed ourselves and could not have asked for a better week. Thanks to everyone else who we got to spend time with and took part in our crazy family week!
