Beach Boys

We were having some really big waves recently and like all good rednecks curious people, we have to take a look at the action.

I did not change the color of the water in the picture.  This is what it looks like every day.
The big waves ended up being further off shore and the reef that surrounds our part of the island kept us protected from the big ones!
The boys, who let no opportunity to get wet, dirty and sandy pass them by, decided that  they must take advantage of the situation. 
Miller decided he was cold.  Poor baby has a hard time when the temp goes into the low 70’s and it’s windy  {cue “It’s a Hard Knock Life” from Annie}.
In order to keep his little brother warm Jackson and his friends offered to bury him in the sand.  They are so thoughtful!


Then they decided to turn him into a mermaid or merman.

Since Miller is so deprived of attention, he loves this kind of thing!

Any time he can get wet, dirty, sandy AND be the center of attention…it just doesn’t get much better than that.
I do not have any pictures of the rogue wave that surprised everyone and got every one of them {adults included} wet and sandy.  You can see from the picture below how far away from the water they were when the wave got them.

Nothing like a one mile bike ride home with wet and sandy clothes on!  I ended up coming back with the car.
So thankful for these memories!
Thanks for the pictures Scott !
