Off to the beach!

We finally made it to the beach! It was fun to watch the girls have their first experience at the ocean. We went to Cape Henlopen Beach in Delaware and we had a great time. The waves were a little big the day we were there so Charity didn't like being too close to the water but she loved digging in the sand. Lydia and Rachel liked playing in the smaller waves. They got a little too close to a couple larger waves and quickly learned they didn't like the taste of seawater. They also really enjoyed having Kenny bury them in the sand.

We also stopped at Assateague National Seashore (a barrier island) in Maryland. We saw, among other things, some wild horses there but had to leave early because of Tropical Storm Hanna moving in. On that note, we received 5.89 inches of rain yesterday at our house! To put that into perspective, Utah's average annual precipitation is just under 12 inches. Anyway, we had a great trip!
