Clear Water

Well, I still have some pictures of our trip to Florida to blog! These are from the day at the beach and the day that everyone got a sunburn! We went to Sand Key, it was a beautiful day to be at the beach. The kids LOVED the beach, they jumped right in, there is no fear with a small rubber tube around your waist! Keith and Grace were in the water splashing in the waves the whole time we were there, and they want to learn to surf now. Ethan, Bailey, and Joy loved the search for shells. Zach stuck to the empty water bottles and sand. All the kids dug in the sand and built castles, they each brought back a whole empty water bottle full of shells too. Rob loves to go to the beach, but does not like to get wet in the cold ocean, so he sat under the umbrella most of the time, except for when he asked me to take a romantic stroll down the beach, that was nice, we talked and walked hand in hand (ahhhh!). Joy apparently had an allergic reaction to something and couldn't get in ocean again after her first dip, the salt water irritated it. She sure didn't seem to mind, she played in the sand the whole time, happy as can be. Aaron, Rob and my Dad went up the beach to get a burger and when Aaron was about to take a bite a seagull swooped down and took his burger right out his hand! Aaron was so dumbfounded by the aggressiveness of the seagull, he stood there in shock, watching as his burger was devoured by a flock of gulls! It was hysterically funny and obviously a great memory- for us at least! And, might I add that my Mom was the culprit for the streaks on all her sons! Yes, she sprayed them all down with sunscreen, and do you know, she streaked them, every one! Lines, and blotches on their chests, backs and sides! They laugh - now! It was really innocent, and what a funny mistake. Mom really felt bad and cried tears from laughter to prove it! And did I mention the HOT guy in the white Nike hat I took a picture of! I hope he calls! Sunburns were from neglect, I admit. You have to RE-apply every so often, it doesn't last four hours in the ocean apparently! Lesson-learned - the hard way. A trip to the beach is definitely on the list of things to do on a future vacation, it was a big hit!
