Wow!!! It was a cold weekend in Chincoteague, but, boy, did we have fun!! We got there around 10pm on Thursday night and immediately kicked on the heaters. Everyone slept great!! Friday started out pretty cold, but the boys were outside with gloves and mittens....loving it! In fact, they went out on a golf cart ride, still in their pj's, with Pop-pop and Me-mom! We puttered around, attempted some fishing with Pop-pop (did I mention it was windy AND cold?!?!), had homemade chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese for lunch, went out to the beach (Cold, again!) and ended the day with bowling! (The kids ran around on the beach in bare feet if you can believe it!) Zach had sooo much fun bowling. He insisted on using the pink ball, which was 8 pounds, so by the end, he was putting it on the ground and kicking it down the lane. It was hysterical!! Saturday morning, we cleaned up around the camper and winterized it with hopes of being off the island by 3pm. We went out to the lighthouse around one and climbed all the way to the top!! Zach loved it! He was just happy to be able to touch the lighthouse, let alone, climb to the top! Smiles all around! He wouldn't let Marsh or myself even carry him....he had to do the stairs himself. We left there and went to get some lunch at our favorite restaurant, Maria's. I think we just weren't ready to leave because we went back out the beach for one last look (Kay had to go look for shells for a few minutes too!) and then we went back to the Creamery for our last ice cream of the season. It was 5:15 before we even started the trip toward home.
It was a great weekend away as a family and I am already dreaming of sunny, hot days on the beach next year. We feel so blessed to be able to "get away" for a few days and are grateful to God for all that He has given us!
