Beach Weekend

In the midst of a very busy May, we had the opportunity to head to Rehoboth Beach and enjoy a weekend with some of our very favorite friends from college--the Gratz and Ambalu families--all together there were 13 of us!  We ate our favorite Rehoboth foods--Nicolo's, Kohr Bros., Thrashers, Bonkey's, and the Cultured Pearl.  We braved a fun but windy beach day, in which Hersh both swam in the ocean and then told me he wished he was Muslim so he could be fully wrapped and protected from the sand storm.  AlteLu spent most of her beach time either making sand angels, or on my lap covered by a towel:)  Saturday evening we headed to Funland, everyone's favorite!  Hersh continued to explore his adventurous side, going on rides that make the adrenaline pump.  And AlteLu, who last year wouldn't even step foot in Funland, loved it this year!  She kept telling me how much fun she was having and how much she loves Funland.  Our kids enjoyed being with all of the other kids, and I think Hersh and Julia have a special connection. Bike riding, beading, and fort building also added to the enjoyment.  To say this girl has a generaly sunny disposition would be an understatement.  Upon returning home both kids passed out.  Hersh then had his final Stroke and Turn of the year, AlteLu and I walked back and forth from the grocery, we had a healthy dinner, and then everyone (including Abba!) had an early bedtime.  Weekends like this are a reminder of the immense privilege and gratitude that guides our life.
