Beach grass, outlet shopping and more...

One of Maddie's favorite things to do is to color outside with sidewalk chalk. Sunday was beautiful outside and guess what we did for part of this weekend?

We had a very full weekend... It was good, just very busy, to the point where Mommy took a nap Sunday night at 6:30pm because she couldn't keep her eyes open anymore! Saturday was our Annual "do the right thing" event....Beach Grass Planting! We're team leaders and have been, every year since we moved to Delaware (well, except last year, we were in China at the time!). This year, Maddie joined in on the event. Thankfully the rain that was coming down in the morning, went away and it turned out to be a dry, albeit cool morning on the beach.

And what good is a trip to the beach, without spending some time down there!?! I know...so we decided to grab some lunch in Rehoboth and hit the outlets to do some clothes shopping for Maddie. (Did I mention that we had been smooshing her poor size 6 feet into size 5 shoes!?! Well,you will be happy to know that she now owns 3 pairs of shoes that FIT and with some room to grow in! We also had to stop on every single kiddie ride at the outlets as we moved from store to store. After leaving the house at 6:30am on Saturday...we got back home around 5:30pm...it was a long day, but a good day!

Sunday, Auntie Amy and Lily came over for a visit! It was wonderful to see them and introduce Lily to Ron and Maddie. Lily has grown SOOOOO much since last I saw her. She's adorable and has great giggles!

I know...bring on the pictures!!!

One of the rides we had to stop at along our shopping excursion at the Outlets!

The two littlest beach grass planters! Faith and Maddie! I'd also say they were the cutest as well!
