Tuesday, August 27~Cape Henlopen/Rehobeth Beach~

After dropping Luke off for his second day of school, Sharon, Lily and I headed down to the beach for a day in the sun by the ocean.  We decided on the beach at Cape Henlopen mainly because I knew how to get there and there is a snack bar and bath house.  The temperatures got up to about 87 degrees but we staked out our claim under the board walk in the shade and were quite comfortable.  Lily loves the beach and she loves to lay, roll and get covered in sand.  The water was quite comfortable although we didn't get all the way in and only played in the surf.  When Luke got out of school, Trish and he met us at the boardwalk in Rehobeth.  We spent some time at Funland on rides and playing carnival games and then had a nice dinner at The Green Turtle.  We had a window seat on the second floor so we overlooked the ocean as we ate.  We stopped at one of the many candy shops and bought some chocolates and taffy to take home before we headed back to Dover.  The kids fell asleep right after I had to threaten to pull over because of the fighting between them.  They both were exhausted as was I.  It was a fabulous day!

This morning, Wednesday, was Luke's first day to ride the bus.  We walked with him to the corner of his street to wait with him.  He was pretty excited to ride and it is better than waiting for drop off and pick up at his school.  That was a mad house!  Much different than I remember.  Later this morning I think Sharon and I will be heading back to Ohio.
