Fenwick Island- my pictures

While at the beach house, we had so much fun. We all made so many fun memories while there. Even though Dan could only be there a few days, he still was able to build sand castles on the beach with Quinn one day and on another day go for a 50 mile ride.
Here are some of my favorite pictures that I took from the vacation!

Uncle Richie went on a bunch of rides with Quinny. He is SUCH a good sport!

Annie caught crabs with anything- sometimes just with her bare hands!

Quinn was this happy pretty much the whole week.

Amy was sunburned and trying to stay in the tiny amount of shade that our broken umbrella provided! :)

Gavin loved the water! He was such a joy to be around.

Quinn made so many memories playing with her cousins.



They were so adorable together.

and they practically lived in dress ups the entire week.

Fenwick Island- Photos by Amy Schofield

My amazing Grandparents have family get togethers every two years at Fenwick Island. They rent two beach houses (one for kid families and one for families without kids/grown kids) It is such a wonderful time. We go to the beach and swim, collect shells, go for bike rides, and spend endless hours enjoying each others company.

This year was my favorite to date.

Quinn was old enough to start to enjoy the beach. This helped me relax some.


Isn't she beautiful??


She was so brave and loved jumping waves by the end of the week.

She was scared the first few days and then when she went with Great Grandma Temple, she fell in love.






Thank you so much Grandma and Grandpa Temple.

Thanks Amy for taking all of these amazing pictures!!

Pirate Party: Dan's celebration #1

The week before Dan's real birthday his parents, Aunt Jean and Michaela threw a pirate themes party for him.

notice how "the face" hasn't changed too much
The picture to the left is actually an obnoxious gift that Dan gave his Mom. He had a picture professionally taken and framed for his Mom with "the face". For some reason she doesn't display it too frequently :)

a pirate, a pirate, a pirate says ARHHHHHHHG

as you can see, we got a little in to the theme :)

ok, maybe it was just me that was really pumped...

and check out all of the yummy pirate food!

Dan's celebration #2

For Dan's birthday, Dad and Annette took the three of us to the Crab Deck. It is right over the Bay Bridge in Kent Narrows. They have amazing food and a great atmosphere. Plus, they are located half way between the Dover and Baltimore!

Quinn ate lots of crab dip, clams, crabs chicken nuggets and even saved room for a crab lollipop!

After dinner we fed the ducks!

Then we took a nice walk to end the visit.

Thanks again Dad and Annette!

Tiny Dancer

Our little girl was in Princess Ballet. She loved it. Quinn and I went every Monday for a few months to her special class that she earned for getting pottty trained. These pictures are from the finale. Dan even took off work to experience it all. Quinn was shining so brightly while her Daddy watched.

She was so proud. I wish I could bottle up that feeling for her.
