The Richie Show: The Beach

Week before last we went on our first vacation to the beach! We went to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. Which also constituted our last trip in our Subaru. No, we did not get in an accident, rather, we were able to sell the Suby. Now we're hip-deep in trying to figure out what to get for our next car. But, before too much time gets away, here are a bunch of pictures and movies. And, yes, we had a lovely time!

We found a rather large female horseshoe crab!

Although they are called crabs, they are apparently more closely related to spiders!

Richie finally got to drive a car!

And a Fire Engine! He really loved these rides. And, they were only 30 or 60 cents each ride!

So much like his daddy! He had to ride in every color boat.

Richie and Momma in the Ferris Wheel. I thought I'd be too heavy, so I didn't go, but the father of the next couple proved me incorrect.

We were really surprised that he wanted to ride in the "space ships" but he liked them, too.

The Motor. It's all about the motor. Or, maybe the steering wheel.

Hurry to the fire!

Back in the boat...

This is actually from our first day on the beach. It was gorgeous every day until the last 1/2 day. Then it was chilly.

He was a little afraid of the water at first, but he warmed to it. Too bad the water didn't warm to him. It was 55F. He loved getting his feet wet. We told him the water was "licking" his toes.

ML dug "bunny holes" that Richie enjoyed standing in. We made a few moats, too, because the tide kept coming in when we'd be out and we needed a little extra time to move. Unfortunately, Richie was standing in the moat when it filled with water on the first day. He did not like that.
