Beach Bums

I want to live by the beach.  And not work.  Or have any other silly responsibilities.  Everyone loves it.  Boogie boarding, digging in the sand, floating on the Magic Waves.  We saw dolphins and seals.  The seal was so cute!  Nothing beats a day at the beach.

Griff loves it.  From the minute we get there to the minute we leave, he hardly gets out of the ocean.  Not even to eat.  And that's saying something.  We got some hand flipper glove thingys and he was a body surfing champ.  We saw some grandma ladies coming out on little blow up floaties and Griff thought they were going to get owned for sure by the waves, but they rode those babies all the way in like pros!  We named them the Boogie Boarding Grannies.  They were there almost every day.

The picture on the top left is Blake trying to catch a bird.  He likes digging and making things in the sand.  This year he played in the ocean quite a bit.  He got hit in the face once with a boogie board and got a little bloody nose.  I didn't think it was possible to get out of the ocean so fast.  He thought he was shark bait for sure.  Whenever it got to be dusk, he made sure we were all hurrying to get out, because "it's feeding time!"  Probably not the best idea to watch Shark Week the week before vacation!
