Vacation Day 4 - The Beach

Despite the Hurricane, we did manage to spend 4 or 5 days on the beach during our vacation.

Sam was pretty brave on his new boogie board. His favorite game was called "that's not going to get us". You lie on your board head-first near the water line and wait for a quick wave to come through and wipe you out. When a big one was coming, Sam would yell "that's the one I've been worried about!"



Pete and Aaron added an element to "that's not going to get us", which entails building a sand pile and challenging the water to destroy it.



This attempt to bury Sam in the sand turned out more like a sand blanket. Which was not a bad idea, since he did not take a single nap the entire week.



Here are Pete and Sam finishing off our sand gator sculpture:
