It was the Sea Witch festival and they had lots of booths and games, plus a costume parade.
Our hotel was right on the beach and one block away from the festival, so Emma and I were able to go play, and then easily run back to the hotel for naps.
I kept taking pictures of the festival and texting them to Shawn while he was in classes. I wanted him to feel like he was part of it. Shawn was in class until 6:30 on Saturday night and we went to dinner at a cute restaurant called Eden. We shared a risotto for an appetizer, I had a beautifully cooked chicken, and Shawn had the salmon. It was past Emma's bedtime, so we got a key lime pie to go. We spent the whole dinner taking turns standing and rocking with her, but it was nice to have a really good dinner again. We haven't been out to a nice dinner since our anniversary in July.
The next morning Emma and I went to a coffee shop where she had pears and I had a breakfast burrito. Then we went back to the hotel to pack up. I was hoping she would nap while I packed, but no such luck. Shawn got out a little early so we hit up our other favorite pastime in Rehoboth, tax free outlet shopping! We got Emma a bunch of fall/winter clothes and a few pieces for ourselves. Of course she fell asleep in the sling while shopping, effectively killing my shoulder with her dead weight.
It was a lovely weekend. Too cold for any beach time, but we did visit a little.
I just finished my last week of work! I am officially a stay at home mommy now. To celebrate, Emma and I went with out neighbor Brooke to a farm in Maryland to go apple picking. We stopped at the pumpkin patch so Brooke could ge a pumpkin and we took a photo op of Emma in her pumpkin outfit. Then we picked apples and califlower. The broccoli was past it's peak, but we didn't realize it until after we trapsed through the soaking wet plants. We were very muddy and wet by the time we got to the car. It was a lot of fun. We'll be sure to go out earlier next year.
Tomorrow is a Halloween party at Brooke and Oscar's where Emma will be a ladybug and Shawn and I will be flowers ;). Pictures to follow.
