Ocean City, MD

This past weekend, we spent 5 great days in Maryland - our first time ever to this state! Ocean City is nothing at all like Myrtle Beach, so it was great for our kids to experience a new beach... with new friends.

The ocean however, is utterly FREEZING in this Yankee state - that didn't stop the kids from their play time though. We spent the day at the ocean on Thursday...



Our fantastic hosts (Ken and Viv) were a lot of fun - making delicious meals, adult beverages, discussing the benefits of organic foods and most importantly? Putting Kyra to work in the kitchen. She helped Ken make his world famous crab cakes & she helped Viv put lemon thyme (grown in the garden) on the fish...





Pay no attention to Ken's homemade wine chiller...



On Friday, we spent the day at the boardwalk. It was rather hot and I found my son continuously asking for some A/C... no idea where he got that attitude from. He drove bumper cars all by himself for the first time and I see a lot of driver's ed in his future...




On Saturday, we spent the day visiting 2 of the 5 pools in the greater Ocean Pines 'resort.' Kyra is so close to swimming by herself...



And by Saturday evening? She was so done!!


It was a great trip up until the ride home on Sunday... Kyra puked, Brad got a speeding ticket and Henry peed his pants. Good times.

I thought the pictures of Krya helping Ken with the crab cakes were way too cool.

Can you find out from Ken how I too can make neat looking wine chiller like that?

Nothing beats Maryland Crabcakes. NOTHING.
