The community was perfect for families; multiple pools and splash pad for the kids and just as many poolside bars for the adults. It was a win-win for everyone. We spent a few days hanging out by the pool for the day and the kids couldn't have been happier. They are all fish and we had to drag them from the pool each and every time.
Of course we spent time at the beach. We tried out Fenwick State Beach and while it was a nice quiet beach the surf was too rough for our little ones. We went back to our faithful Lewes Beach and the kids had a blast running in and out of the water and swimming the day away. They also all enjoyed getting to see the ferry come in and out of port.
Mom Mom and Pop Berry had given the boys money to spend on the rides and ice cream at the boardwalk. The boys opted for cotton candy instead but we did hit up the rides and they had so much fun!!
We tried a little fishing off of the pier in the community. Chase got a fishing pole back at Christmas and this was his first time getting to use it. Even though he didn't catch anything he thoroughly enjoyed fishing and can't wait to again...which makes James oh so happy.
I think all of our favorite part of the vacation was being out on the water. One day we did a pirate ship cruise and our last day we rented a boat and explored the bay area and Assateague Island. So much fun! All of the kids took a turn driving the boat and loved docking up to the island and exploring. Though none of them were thrilled when a jellyfish and horseshoe crabs came swimming up next to them. I don't think I've ever seen 5 water loving children exit a body of water so fast in my life.
We have had such a wonderful summer and ending it with this vacation couldn't have been more perfect. We all came back tanned, relaxed and ready for another school to begin.
