Since we had a little snag in our vacation plans for 2011 we thought it would be a great idea to go back to the Eastern Shore since it was Labor Day weekend and we had an extra day off. We called up Grandma to see if she wanted to go to the beach with us since she hadn't been the Rehoboth in about 20 years.
Just a couple of hours later we were on our way. Recently Daddy has been wondering how our parents kept us entertained on our long drives since there were no DVD players or cell phones. Grandma showed us just how to keep a kid going during a long two hour drive:
We were all set when we arrived at Nicola pizza. Since Grandma hadn't been to the beach in a while it was cool to show her where we all like to eat when we come to the beach each year. Wyatt always likes to watch the train go by although this time the train was parked for a little while.
Since we have been working with Wyatt a lot on trying new foods we were super happy when Wyatt ate his very first Nicola pizza. He had some of grandma's pepperoni pizza. Of course it came at a price each bite cost Grandma one sip of her birch beer.

Here is Mommy and Wyatt getting our digestion on: |
Daddy and Mommy loving Nicola Pizza...yummy!!!
This cool Dude is ready to hit the boards!
Outside Wyatt got to try this cool MTV drummer game. Wyatt loves to play the drums.
And so does Grandma! We all rocked out to some Blind Melon "No Rain"
Next we headed over to the horse race game to try to win some cool stuffed animals. Wyatt did a good job this time but he got a little frustrated when Daddy would take his turn, but hey we wanted to win!
At the horsey racing we got a big surprise when William ran up to us! We were so happy that Nonna, Uncle John and Aunt Maggie and Cousin William came up to have beach fun with us. After a couple more rounds of the horse racing we all decided to see what other games we could master.
Here is what William won at the Goblet toss:
Wyatt getting ready to win a pize too:
Nothing like launching a frog onto a lilly pad:
Wyatt and Daddy take a turn at those crazy frogs
Then William gives it a big hit
Grandma has always been really good at getting these frogs on the lilly pads. She was able to get two frogs on the pads so Wyatt got a pize and William got a prize too.
Of course we had to do a little wack- a- mole!
Then we all headed over to do some skeeball. Wyatt has really been working on his skeeball skills but he has a ways to go still maybe next year he will be able to get a big score like William.
And who could forget all the rides!!!! Daddy was trying to scare Wyatt on the boat ride but you can tell these boys are brave!
Nonna and William on the super fast car ride
Mommy went on with Wyatt and this ride was totally crrrrrrazzzzzy!!!!
After it went forwards we were surprised when we were all instructed to stay in our seats cause we were about to go backwards
Mommy kept asking "Are we there yet?" I hope this isn't what it is going to be like when Wyatt starts to drive...WHOAH!!!

Daddy and Grandma on the Sea Dragon, looks like Grandma showed Daddy who the read daredevil is
Mommy, Daddy, Wyatt, and Grandma on the tea cups. The sign in the background actually says that they are not responsible for "soiled clothing" nice!
While Nonna, Uncle John, Aunt Maggie, and William headed over to have some dinner we decided to go over to the beach for a nice swim. Poor Grandma got knocked down by a lot of waves. They were pretty intense!
Daddy and Wyatt heading out into the water
And instantly a wave finds them
So Wyatt thought it would be better to hang with Mommy on the beach for a while
Of course when William came and joined us Wyatt was ready to give the water another chance. Sometimes all you needed is an older cousin to make it all better.
After the beach we did more rides including the HAUNTED HOUSE!!! Poor Wyatt had his hands over his eyes the whole time but at the very end when the doors opened he threw his arms up in the air and shouted "I DID IT!!"
Next we thought it would be a good idea to do a more Wyatt friendly ride while Grandma, Daddy, and Uncle John got on some of the more daring rides.
After a few more rides it was getting really late and we all decided it was time to head on out. We all had such a great time and it was the perfect impromptu vacation to the beach. We got in swimming, digging, collecting, game playing, and some darn good eating- what could be better than that?!?!?
