We made it to Chincoteague, to Meredith's new house for the new year! I was nervous about driving for 10 hours with a small boy, but he did really, really well. Aside from talking non-stop all the time he was awake, his behavior was great! It does help to have a fun box to play with.
When we arrived, Heidi, Kristen, and the kids were on the front porch, jumping up and down, waving, hollering their heads off in welcome. Little A was really confused–why were all his people here in this strange new place? The kids had so much fun telling me about their Chincoteague. I loved it.
Friday, we made it out to the beach, where it was cold, but not TOO cold.
While the big kids looked for shells, the littlest kid kept pointing out at the waves and saying, "me!" So we kept a close eye on him, the fearless daredevil! Chad helped him get close without being in danger.
Happy 2010!

Looks like a wonderful time!
Looks like fun!
