Memorial Day at the Beach!

Ryan finally had an opportunity to spend some time at the world's biggest sandbox - the beach! We went down for an overnight stay in Rehoboth (Mommy and Daddy even snuck in a 5K) and Ryebread had an absolute blast.

Daddy was having so much fun, he seemed to forget his dislike for cold water. This was one of the very few times that Rye seemed apprehensive about a new situation (let us not forget the giant walking Hershey bar!). The loud roars of the ocean and just the vastness of it, really, seemed to cause pause. But he eventually warmed up (a little) and walked around the shoreline.

But enough with the cold, stony water - back to the chairs to relax in the sun!

While mommy and daddy ran the Rusty Rudder 5K, Erin was nice enough to keep an eye on Ryebread. He found an arrow along the shore and turned into Ryebread Hood - walking around, waving his arrow at anyone who might be a threat to Dewey Forest :) Seriously, though, look at him by the water, all by himself! So brave....

Finally, after a fun-filled 24 hours, it was back in the car for the trip home. Daddy and Rye were pooped. You can barely tell they're related, huh!?
