Vacation 2014, Day 6 – Rain, Rain, Go Away!
Posted By pamelamyers on July 14, 2014
Thursday the sky did not look friendly. It was our first day thus far on vacation that the beach was pretty much out of the question. The kids were good sports though. They spent some time in the morning playing with Maddox’s new Zingo game. It’s sort of like an easy Bingo, but boy, they had fun! They played it so many times!
When Zingo got dull, on to the iPad. Sam and Maddox play a lot of the same games so they are always trying to show each other how good they are and what they know how to do.
It was a lazy morning, but I think we all needed the rest!
Well, Mark didn’t get much rest….
A selfie, with Blue Frog!
We couldn’t spend the whole day at the house, so my mom and I took Sam to an arcade near the house. Sam played so many games. She won 771 tickets! This stack of over 250 she won all by herself, on one game, where you had to drop tokens down a chute at just the right moment to have them land in a truck. I was shocked actually at how well she did. As you can see, she is very pleased with herself! She told me the machine helped her stack her tickets (they just kept coming out of the machine and folding on the floor).
We did go to the beach later when the rain let up, but it was cold. No rain, but cold! Sam ate ice cream anyway. Nothing is going to stop her from eating her fudgcicles!
I wrote her name in the sand and asked her to pose, to commemorate the week.
It was chilly, and we didn’t stay long. It’s no fun at the beach if you are going to stay wrapped in a towel the whole time.
Maddox didn’t mind a dip in the water, but I don’t think I was getting Sam near it that day.
After dinner, we tried to go back to the Ocean City boardwalk but it started raining again, and we heard thunder, so it was out of the question. We decided to salvage the night by heading to Yum Yum’s for ice cream. Since we were there, it was time for another turtle visit.
Sam was disappointed we didn’t go to the boardwalk, but there’s nothing like ice cream to cheer a little girl up!
We went home fairly early and Mark thought a good old game of spoons was in order. He taught Sam to play and Krista helped Maddox and pretty soon the kids were taking it very seriously. They are quite competitive, these two!
We called it a night and hoped for a better, sunnier day the next day. Good night everyone!
