Let’s beach!

I got to join Matt’s family for their family Bethany Beach vacation, which was a lot of fun!

We:

  • Went to a carnival
    • Rode a gravity ride: standing, no security but gravity while your feet lose the ground
    • Mastered the swinging pirate ship
    • Did not cry
    • Just screamed a bit
    • Finally had the great stomach feeling again
    • Sat on a kid’s horse and received irritated looks
  • Played (Surprisingly, I won most of the games, which turned me into the “star” for the kids 😉 )
    • Catan, Clue, 4 wins, Minigolf…
    • Pirates against girls (= Sarah and I)
    • Hide and seek
    • Water-sand-vehicle toy
    • A Video Game
  • Walked the beach and the boardwalk
    • had good ice cream
    • A bonfire with smores (not me, just chocy & Grahams)
    • Beach photo shootings
    • Had a bird poop on Jaden’s shoulder (who was not amused at all!)

 

  • Stopped by at the Rock State Park to see the waterfall on the way back
    • Took nice pics
    • Experienced exposing couple interactions
    • Had a romantic time
    • a lecture by the park officers

More pictures follow!

Let’s camp!

Time is running – in Lichtgeschwindigkeit – so I did not really get to write blog entries lately. Now, 4 days before my departure to the BIG adventure, I will take some time to report about the latest happenings.

My hosts took us camping! Their super cute granddaughter Kammy came along and their grandson Blaze joined us for 1 1/2 days, too, it was so much fun! However, it was not a hard-floor, bugfull, sleepless camping vacation! My hosts have a luxus RV with kitchen, microwave, 5 sleeping spots and TV, which enabled us to have a lovely family time in nature.

We went to the beautiful creek a couple times, rode our bikes a bit, had a camp fire with smores (not me though) and just relaxed. We had great weather and I had a great time chalk drawing rainbows and trains (or busses) on the road with Kammy! She even wanted to sleep with me in one bed, how cute is that?! She’s 5 years old and very talkative! Her 9-y. older brother Blaze is rather quiet and serious though but I really like both.
