Assateague Island Vacation

The week of the 26th of July Meghan, Julia and I ventured down to the beach to...huge gulp...camp with our friends Karen, her husband Kim and their daughter Kathlyn. Well truth be told I have never camped other than Echo Hill in 5th grade and Girl Scout camp!
It was fun...loved the fact that the horses were so close, although maybe not the 5 yr. old.


Just couldn't get over the fact that they were so tame. Our horses here at home would spook if you clapped your hands at them...not these.




This paint above is stallion...kinda made you a little leary. They had just decided about 7 of them that this was were they were goint to have their supper!






Julia loved the beach once she got used to the water...she said to me Mom...take a picture of me surfing...LOL




The girls both had a blast looking for seashells...their was an amazing amount of them. In fact the first day the girls collected so many I bet they had 25lbs. in a blanket.







Julia now surfing on the boogie board!


On Tuesday the water was so calm, that Kathlyn taught Meghan how to surf the waves using a boogie board! She felt so special! I was really proud of her!




The girls digging their way to China!


The campground and our little pup tent, thanks to my girlfriend Carol!


Julia hanging out and having some quiet time!


Julia, Kathlyn and Meghan hanging out one evening! I am grateful to Kathlyn for being such a super "big girl girlfriend" to the girls!
They played hard and were tired!

On Wednesday we left Assateague and went into West Ocean City to stay at a hotel where they had a "splashground"! The girls had fun and then we went to the pool and swam for a while. We had dinner with my brother Brian, his wife and their toddler that evening.
It was so nice to get away and relax...!






























































































































I borrowed a tent from a neighbor.
