Cooling the corn in the kitchen sink so it was cool enough to hold while stripping it.

We cooked the corn in the big stockpot we got from Kevin and Julie (thanks!) and then stacked it on the plate on the left.

Look at that smile!

She was happy to be held by Kevin.

There was a mother duck and ducklings on some rocks at the end of the channel.

There was a long channel that we kayaked down, which had a restaurant at the end of it.

We passed by this barge doing marine construction on one of the properties at the edge of the bay.

Autumn, Wes, and Kevin went on a kayak trip around the bay on Friday morning. It was the perfect day for it.

Some boys sitting next to us on the beach were eying up our sand castle, and as we were leaving, we told them they could destroy it if they wanted. They wanted.

Kelsey being a goofball and running full speed back to the shore.

There is a little-known public beach in Lewes that we like to go to, which has a very gradual slope to the ocean bottom, so you can wade out for a very long way.

This is the only picture of Kevin from this trip, since he was taking all of the photos except for this one.

Autumn, Wes, and Kelsey posing in front of the sand castle we made.

The horseshoe crab was still alive, and was wiggling its claws and feet.

Wes showing off a horseshoe crab he found. His foot is used for size comparison.

Autumn and Kelsey watching a boogieboarder take a large wave.

Autumn and Kelsey watching a big wave break. The hurricanes and tropical storms were causing larger than normal waves.
