Heading to the shore

Kodie had his 5th game of the season this afternoon in Elkton, Maryland which is near the Delaware border. We played the Jaguars. The Steelers played tough, but we came up a little short. The kids are giving a solid effort and it is evident that they are making some steady improvements. Kodie played the whole game on both sides of the ball. He mostly played tailback on offense and finished as the leading tackler on defense while playing defensive end. He played much better than last week, so it was nice to see him out there competing and having fun.
We are going to spend some time at the coast this weekend, since the kids don't have school on Monday. We are heading out to Rehoboth Beach which is located in Delaware. It is a nice beach with a boardwalk, so that should be fun for the kids. It is about a 2 hour drive from our place out to Rehoboth. There are several beaches to choose from in this area including Dewey Beach, Fenwick Island, and also Ocean City, Maryland. I am hoping that the water will be a little warmer than the Baltic Sea waters of southern Finland. Before I set off, thought I would post a few football pics.
