Escape

After all the craziness of the last month, we finally snuck away to the beach for the weekend.
It was a great weekend, aside from the invasion of the horseshoe crabs and their annual laying of their eggs on the beach. The boys thought it was cool though and they became crab rescuers, turning over the crabs that were stuck on their backs. Gotta love boys for the dirty stuff! I did learn more about horseshoe crabs this weekend then is really necessary, but actually pretty fascinating.
So we spent saturday morning looking for more cool rocks to add to Alek's collection and watching out for the crabs. Kevin bought Alek a spiderman fishing rod and a Lightning McQueen net for Maks, so Alek practice his casting and Maks practiced catching bugs and rocks in his net. It was very cute.
Pop and Noni stopped down for a visit and a nice walk on the beach. After lunch we headed down further to Lewes to hang out with friends on their beach, sans the crabs, so the boys could swim a bit. It was cold but it didn't seem to bother Alek, Maks was a little more hesitant. The timing was perfect as it was low tide and they got to explore the sandbar. There was much excitement as we found a very large conch, so the boys got to see its "foot" and now it moves on the bay floor.
Alek got to go fishing for real at a local pond and he caught a handfull of sunnies, of course, leave it to daddy to forget to take pictures. Married to a shutterbug, you think he would know by now! So Alek got to throw them back in and also wound up in the pond himself, there is a surprise!
Sunday was extremely hot so we headed home early. It was a very nice weekend and just great to get away!
