Beach Week 2010

Ahhh, the annual Kaufmann family vacation. This year, the East Coast was up; the community of Bay Side in Fenwick Island, Delaware was our destination.

Life's a Beach ... and Then You Build Sand Castles
The waves were pretty wild - but all the kids ended up loving them (big kid Bob best of all).









Round and Round & On The Playground!
Bay Side has a beautifully restored carousel that is free to all residents and vacationers. We rode several times - had to make sure we all got at least one turn on our favorite mounts ... "John Deere" for Owen and an eagle for Sam. The adjacent playground was lots of fun too.









Splash Pad
Bay Side also has a splash zone next to one of the pools. Freezing cold water but when did that ever deter the under 5 crowd?






Our Birthday Boy
Owen started out the day with a birthday donut, spent the day at the pool, then celebrated with a few gifts, a JD themed bash (thanks to all for wearing green and yellow!) and a homemade cake (thanks for the baking expertise Kris!).







Annual Grandkid Photo Shoot
Also known as the night we dress the grandkids in cute matching outfits and try to get them all seated and looking at the same camera at the same time. I think this year was our most successful shoot yet!



Stick Out Your Tongue!
Along with donuts every morning, Pop-pop supplied Ring Pop treats. Green tongues are great fun!



Family Fun
AKA the photos that didn't fit into the other categories but were too cute not to post! Love the kids playing together in the closet.




The Last Shot
On the way home ... recovering from vacation!
