Rehoboth Beach Week


Our summer travels continued with our annual Winterhoff/Offutt Family Week in Rehoboth Beach, DE.  The kids love being with cousins and this is a fun-filled week of beach and boardwalk fun!

Keeping with tradition, the kids had Donut Day with Poppy on the boardwalk:
This was the only day of the week that all of these tweens/teens woke up voluntarily before 9 a.m.!

"Don't Jump, Leah!" 

There were games and puzzles at our beach house, and a pool table/ping pong table in the basement:



One evening, we invited everyone to come over, and there was a special surprise announcement:

(Cousin) Brett and Brooke are having a BABY!

Crab Night was back this year, and is a special treat for the crab-lovers in the family!


I took our resident foodie out for lunch one day and he had his first lobster roll.  The verdict was that it was delicious!  

Afternoons at Funland meant games, rides, prizes, prizes, and prizes!





Leah's prizes lined the entire stairway.

There were hours on the beach every day.  Spike Ball was a favorite this year, and the cousins always enjoy their beach time together:

Mark and I also got to visit Coach Adam, BB Krissy, and her parents at their nearby beach house in Bethany Beach.  We toasted to good health this year!


Thank you, Bean and Poppy, for another wonderful year of beach fun and memories!
