Beach Vacation 2010 - Day 4: Rain

Our fourth day at the beach turned out to be cool and rainy with no beach time to be had. With only limited toys available around the beach house and two kids who were accustomed by now the entertainment of the beach, we needed to find some means of providing similar entertainment to the kids while it rained. Enter McDonalds.

Lea had spotted a McDonalds with an indoor playland on our way into Rehoboth on Saturday. Remembering this, we got the kids dressed after breakfast and headed out to see what we could see. The kids had never been to a McDonalds before (other than passing through the drive-thru to pick-up bad-for-us breakfast sandwiches for Lea and I on trips), so this was going to be a new experience for them.

Upon arriving, I bought Lea and I some of their frozen smoothie drinks (I had wanted their on of their mocha ones but they were out) and Lea took the kids to the playland. I think you could say they enjoyed it...

They enjoyed the smoothies too...

Li'l Bean was all about posing for portraits with people. First her Momma and then Ronald McDonald - though she crawled up on his lap by herself, she was evidently a little skeptical.


Later Bean helped to prepare lunch... and I tried on Bean's fashion glasses:


Afternoon activities consisted of the customary nap and then because it continued to rain some Play with Me Sesames. While not as exciting as the Watie, it was enough to keep everyone entertained.
