I hate sand. I live in FL and I hate sand. But when it comes to my kids I will bite the bullet. It’s the mom thing. But my kids love the sand, surf, and sun. You couldn’t pull them out if you tried. Well, they like the pool too. To get them off the beach, we bribed them with the pool. To get them out of the pool I had to tell them their lips were turning blue and it was too cold to be in the pool anymore. Haha!!!
Before when we have gone to the beach, the kids will spend 2 minutes in the water (more like toe in the water) and the rest of the time in the sand. My daughter this time wanted to go deep. The water was rough and the undertow was kicking. But she still wanted to go. She’s a daredevil like her mom. She doesn’t understand undertow. She does now. I made sure she felt the pull when we were deep enough. The water is beautiful but most dangerous. If she is going to be a fish like her mom, she needs to understand the beast. She now understands. She held my hands and we jump the waves. We ran back and forth from the beach to the 2nd sand bar and back. She loves the water… like her mom and she
loves the sand…unlike her mom. She’s still young.
My son, on the other hand, was more skeptical still he followed us a little way out. He really wanted to play beat the waves with a shovel. He’s a boy, what can I say. “If you can’t figure it out beat it up” (Russ Rollins) . He’ll come around too. Probably next year.
The water should still be warm but the cool nights we’ve had lately has cooled the water down quite a bit. I was surprised. But all in all it was a good day. Hey I finally finished my skirt. I will post pics tomorrow but for now
