Playing in the water at the beach...

Playing in the water at the beach…..

You can't help but look at this picture and notice the color of the water….brown with a hint of seaweed. (Any one living on the west or east coast one would wonder why on earth any one would want to swim in such murky water) I often wonder the same thing.

Yet, it seems every year we take our yearly trip to the gulf and jump right in…well that is daddy does. I on the other hand only get my feet wet looking for sea shells. Until this year Tyler loved going to swim in the ocean with daddy (well by swim I mean daddy holding him while the waves crashed over them). It seems one of his friends this year brought a shark book to school and they read all about sharks in the ocean. We could not convince him there were no sharks were we were swimming…this is the first year he didn’t get in the water…..I guess I can’t really blame him…I don’t either.

On the other hand, Ryan had a ball playing in the water. He loved sitting and letting the waves knock him down.

Note: I think I need another adjective to describe the condition of the water….murky just doesn’t seem quite right.....how about yucky!
