Bethany Beach

We had loads of fun at Bethany Beach in Delaware this summer. We went a couple of different times and rented a beach house.

Charles and his parents are major beach people. I'm learning how it all works.

First you get up early to stake a sweet spot close to the waves.

Then daddy builds a wall that keeps the waves from washing over the beach towels...and when the tide gets higher it makes a nice little wading pool.

It's best if you can bring as much family as possible. Even the busy Reverend Granny Mae enjoyed some beach time.

In the evenings there are rides to be enjoyed for the little ones. You can see how happy Madeline is here with all of the....

...little cars, boats, and airplanes to ride.

We won't talk about the Ferris Wheel that mommy got claustrophobic on and had to get off....like...immediately!

(Cheryl looks like she is a swimsuit model. I hate her.)

But, mostly, to be a beach person you just have to enjoy listening to the waves crash and roar. (It doesn't hurt to have a little eye candy to look at like my Mr. Handsome.) Madeline loved going in the ocean.

Which is why it's hard to explain why she was afraid....

...of getting into the swimming pool. ( After much coaxing we finally made her comfortable.)

Farewell summer and Bethany Beach, we had a blast!!
