Beach Time- OC & Rehoboth- Pt. 1

This year's Ocean City-Delaware trip was a blast!  Wyatt loved getting to hang out a lot with his best friend and favorite cousin William.  We were a little afraid the boys wouldn't be able to sleep in the same room together because they had so much fun playing but they knew that more fun was just a few winks away and even slept in -giving both sets of Mommys and Daddys lots of vacation rest.

 

 

Here are the boys showing some love out on the OC beach:

When we first arrived at the beach we were all ready to jump into some beach game fun.  We had some epic air hockey matches-Daddy vs Daddy, Cousin vs. Cousin and Mommy vs Mommy (or as I like to call it let's see how long we can keep this game going so the Daddy's have to entertain the boys in the arcade.  To explain- the Mommas have spent many tireless hours trying to keep the boys entertained while the Daddy's play their hearts out. Ahhh sweet revenge.

Here are some pics of the face offs:

 The next day Mommy, Daddy, and Wyatt headed down to meet Poppi for breakfast at The Dough Roller.  It was very yummy!  Then we walked around the boards a little enjoying the beautiful sunny weather.  Since the Dew Tour was there this year the boards were very crowded at night so it was nice to get some peace and quiet in the mornings.

After breakfast we all headed over to Rehoboth Beach to do some outlet shopping and then to enjoy everyone's favorite Nicola Pizza!

 After we were good and stuffed from the yummy Nicola Pizza we headed over to the rides and games.  William really showed off his skills on the horse racing game and Wyatt had a blast getting on all the rides with William.

Well maybe not ALL the rides.  Wyatt was pretty scared of this ride in line but Mommy made Wyatt get on the ride anyway and poor Wyatt made this face the ENTIRE ride.  William was loving every minute of it but Wyatt looked a lot like his Momma does when she is on those crazy free fall rides.

 After a day filled with rides and games and a little shopping we decided to head back to OC and rest up a bit before dinner.  We were super lucky at dinner to get this special seat right by the water at the Marina Deck:

The next morning Aunt Maggie and Mommy woke up a little earlier to get the boys ready to go out on the beach to play for a while.  Wyatt and William had a blast on the beach digging in the sand, making sand castles, sword fighting with a rake and a shovel, and throwing the football around.  The boys did a pretty good job of playing and William was very nice to share his beach toys with his cousin.

 

This was Mommy's best attempt at recreating the Tower in England in sand.  i.e. My nerdiness coming through in my art.

 The Ws buried in the sand and just taking in the rays.   A quick parenting note, if you really pack them in it is a great way to secure your own time to lay around on the beach without having to chase a kid all around.  I fully recommend this parenting method:

After chilling out on the beach in the morning we decided to go back to the room and get ready to go out to lunch.  We tried a great pizza place and then headed up the boards to Trimpers for a full day of rides, rides, and more rides!

Wyatt got to drive the bumper car all on his own this year.  The attendant helped him learn how to drive the car and after some practice he really got it down:

Wyatt loves these rides where they whip you all around the corners really fast:

 Aunt Maggie and the boys on the Rockin Tug:

 The boys LOVED this ride!!!  They got to explore and  climb and then come sliding down a big shoot.  They kept sliding down and then heading straight back up:

 William really knows the mirror maze.  Wyatt and William were able to navigate through the maze and beat me out!  They did a great job - such smart boys!

 After a long day it was nice when we got to sit down at Harrison's Harborwatch and have a nice relaxing dinner.  After dinner, we headed out to try one of the awesome mini golfs they have on Coastal Hwy.  William is very into dragons right now so he picked this super cool dragon themed mini golf course:
