The family and I took a short (2.5 hr) road trip to Delaware to visit my wife's relatives. She has an uncle in Middletown with kids about the same age as ours. He took us out on the Chesapeake in his boat, with our kayak in tow. We swam and paddled a bit and then headed back to the house in time for their annual block party.
I joined in the volleyball tournament just as some thunder storms were making their way through. We kept playing through the downpour and the muddy, slippery grass certainly added another element to the game.
It's going to be a year at least until the grass grows back on that area.
