visit to Maryland and Delaware

We spent the majority of the last two weeks visiting my family in Maryland and Delaware. It was a last minute trip and was a ton of fun. I think we need to make this a tradition for Memorial Day weekend. After spending some time in Maryland with my parents we headed down to Rehoboth Beach, DE where my sister has a beach house. The weather was great and Mary Ryan got to experience her first visit to the beach. She enjoyed eating lots of sand. The water was a little too cold to go in so we'll just have to wait until we go back in August to take her in. Our friends Kelly and Walt came down for a couple of nights which was another last minute call but it so much fun to see them!! We ended the trip back in Maryland at my parents and my mom topped off the visit with her famous crab cakes.

Mary Ryan began to crawl when we were down at my parents house. It's a combination of scooting, dragging and crawling all in one motion. It's quite interesting. She is so advanced :) She also started clapping which is really really really cute to watch.
