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!
These girls are new neighbors, they are really sweet. They saw Maddie coming and brought their treat bowl out to her.
We met up with Maddie's friend Zoey. They love to play to outside together and meet up to play at the park a lot. They had fun together.
Waiting in line for the bowling game! Maddie also played eat the donut with out hands and bobbing for ducks (with her hands)
I love that Mom dressed up as a SCARY Scarecrow! Ha ha, how did you have that hat lying around your house?!
Trick or Treat! It was pretty dark and some of the trunks were really decked out! Good costumes too! Maddie got scared and wanted to go home after a few trunks.
Who is that little Wolverine! MASON! What a cutie, he had little muscles and kept his mask on the whole night! He got LOTS of candy! You'll have to come next year again LA but earlier!
She was happy to see her cousins there! Sadie was "Dee Dee" from Doodle Bops!
So cute, their was a scare crown station and a mummy wrap. Pete was one of the mummys being wrapped, lol, and Maddie was a little worried. My camera died so I don't have pics of the mummys!
She had really cute goats, including 2 baby goats! The kids ran over to the fence to feed them leaves and they were a little scared! But we went over and visited them a few more times before we left. Maddie laughed her head off when they would jump off their little houses.
On the hay ride with all the kids! I was the only adult who went with the kids.
Maddie was hungry and she loves donuts so she was being really patient waiting for this game to begin! On the count of 3 all the kids got to go after there donut with no hands!

She was excited to see this cut out of Elmo!
The splash park. No body is there because it was almost 8 o clock at night but she wanted to play so we let her get soaked! I thought I had an extra outfit with me but turned out I only had shorts so we bought her an adorble shirt to wear.
The parade! Madelyn's FAVORITE part of the whole trip. The music and dancers are really good, had me dancing too! And of course all the characters are there!
Big Bird was one of my favorites when I was litte. Big Bird Goes to China! Maddie was a little shy at first but after see saw the other kids take pictures she was up for it. And then Elmo was next! She gave him a big hug.
There was smaller water slides, Maddie would sit on our laps and we would go down together. There was water pouring down every where so we were soaked the whole time. It was a good thing because it was very hot out.
