Family Vacation to Assateague Island

Our trip was suppose to start on Friday... as we were hours behind schedule leaving, the car was loaded, we were finally on our way, a mile from home and ...the car suddenly died. My friend Chris came to our rescue and drove me and the kids home to get Randy's truck. Randy with help from above was able to start the car and get it to our street before it died again. He then towed it up the street where he began to diagnose the issue. Again with divine intervention he was able to find the problem, locate the part, and install it. It is crazy that such a little thing can cause such an inconvenience.

Early Saturday am we departed to Maryland.

This was the check-in building, and we were so excited to finally be arriving and a beautiful day too!!!

The boys getting their energy out...

We hit the beach on Assateague Island State Park.
I had to put this picture in because I truly loath these birds. Over the coarse of my life I have been their target too many times and they just scare me.

Riley loved the beach, and was even starting to get used to the sand. She really loved the water. She is a water baby.

We saw some of the wild ponies. This was right on the road by the parking area.

They were so beautiful.

After the beach. Dylan wasn't water logged enough and him and I visited the water park that was in the campground. We had fun going down the slides and going around the lazy river.

Our campsite.

We had fun playing mini-golf at the campground.

Randy was very creative at entertaining Riley as it was past her bed time and she was ready to go.

Heavy rains hit on Sunday, so we enjoyed sight seeing from the car on the other end of Assateague Island - Chincoteague.

This is the first Lighthouse I can remember visiting.
