After spending the first day of our weekend family trip in Rehoboth, we leisurely spent the next day at Cape Henlopen State Park. It was our first time going to Cape Henlopen, and we liked that it was a little quieter and had calmer waters than Rehoboth, which was perfect for younger children.
My dad walked out on a little strip to stand out in the middle of the ocean.

Mirei was terrified of the fish.
Not a fishy fan!
Mio, on the other hand, was fascinated by the fish!
We took a weekend trip in late August with my parents and my sister to Rehoboth Beach and Cape Henlopen. The girls loved the beach and were happy to be back at Rehoboth!

Why so serious, Mirei?

Mio is a beach lover for sure!
Mirei fell asleep while she was made into a mermaid…
We spent last Sunday at Lewes Beach in Delaware! It was our first time at the beach this year, and Mirei’s first time ever. Mio has been talking about the beach a lot lately so we’re so glad we could take her — she had so much fun! She’s been saying, “Go back to beach!” ever since. Here are some photos of all the fun in the sun!
Dan and Mio soaking up the sun. Going into the water… it was still a little cold, but that didn’t stop them! Sweet Mirei in the shade of our beach umbrella. Playing in the sand. Building things in the sand… Mirei staying nice and dry. With our 4 month old chubster! The sisters together ♥ Mirei giggles a lot lately! Can’t get enough!

We wrapped up our time in Lewes by stopping by to eat crabs for dinner at The Surfing Crab.

Mio was passed out from all the fun at the beach! She slept almost the whole ride home, too.
Delicious blue crabs!
The girls enjoyed the beach so much that we’ll definitely have to go to more this summer!
