Year #5 is in the books! Our routine is firmly in place but we try to mix it up just a little bit each year. We visited all of our old haunts - even added a new one of in the form of the "Big Chill." We also had a new experience with tidal pools on the beach. They were the result of a really high, high tide that kept us busy digging trenches. The kids could not get enough of the tidal pools. I liked the tidal pools because there are no sharks in them. This year we got to see a dolphin come really close to shore while it was playing in the waves...also a sign that sharks were not nearby. Can you tell I have a shark phobia? It's not really a phobia, just a healthy sense of self-preservation that the rest of the family seems to be lacking.
Adrienne spent hours jumping waves, Luke spent hours on skim boards and Coco spent hours topless in the sand. Don't judge. She doesn't like the way sand feels on her body. She also doesn't like the bathing-suit-crotch-sand-trap. Go figure.
We played many games. We drank many beverages. We made many memories. And until next year, we'll settle for the smiles that the everlasting discoveries of sand in all of our possessions bring.
