Beach trip to OC post Hurricane Irene

We had plans to go to Ocean City the morning after Hurricane Irene. Our power went out the night before and we had no idea what had happened to our condo in OC. Shaun had posted a reporter covered in sludge sawyer and I was really worried it was going to smell at the beach! Luckily, our condo was fine, no power loss so we were on our way (1 day late)!
I thought I took pictures of our place, but I guess not. It was a very quiet community (senior citizen) relaxing and clean! It was in Fenwick, 1 street away from Lisa's old place. It was a very cozy 2 story condo and had a beautiful sun room over looking a lake.
After getting settled we got ready and went to check out the boardwalk! There were sand mounds and bulldozers left after the clean up but you couldn't tell there was a hurricane.

Maddie's favorite. Loves the carousel! I do too, whoo hoo

Serious driver

She loved this fishing game! It was a shark, but we called it a fish. She caught it and then caught 2 more before the lady could get the pole back!

She said, "Daddy I went fishing!"

Tea Cups!! These were pretty low key tea cups and Maddie really liked them. She turned the wheel to make it spin. Later in the week we all jumped on a tea cup ride at Rehobeth. I looked around and noticed older kids and adults were on the ride. Uh-Oh. The ride was fun, it spun pretty fast and we couldn't stop laughing. Madelyn flew to my side and we did our best to not squish her! At the end we asked her if she wanted to go again and she just shook her head, "no".

I only posted this pic so you could see the weired "stick" debri all over the beach and the destroyed fence in the backround.

Maddie loved the sand. She played for 2-3 hours straight the first day or twon. I played with her but also read a lot in the warm sun!

Mom and Gavin came to visit us for a few hours. Maddie was so happy to see them and showed them the bunk bed she was sleeping in all week!

Lunch time, these kids love boiled eggs on the beach! Maddie expects them as her lunch so I have to be prepared.

She played in the water a little. Daddy accidently let her slip in a wave and she didn't wasn't too interested after that. She still jumped in the waves thought. It was beautiful weather, not to hot and since the water was pretty cold we didn't swim as much as we would have liked.

We had a really good time, and didn't want to leave. The weather was perfect, no humidity and mostly sun all week. We had good family time and love the beach!
