Wednesday: A Weather Reprieve

Excitement!  The Red Flag warning was finally lifted, which meant that eager souls could venture out into the ocean.  But this gallivanting gal decided that getting her knees wet was enough excitement for the day!

But, first things first…..before some of this gang had the opportunity to partake of breakfast…. we were admiring the catch of the day:  Flounder.

which was the source of curiosity early in the day.

Then, we headed to the beach, and  you can be guaranteed that the rest of the gang took advantage of this sudden opportunity to access the waves.

But one face full of salt water resulted in oceanside beach entertainment.

Luckily, we had a volunteer who was willing to offer his services.

Personally….I think he was nuts, but those two certainly had a grand time.  And sand does wash off in the ocean, after all. 

Then, we were onto bigger and better things with Gramma G's assistance.

Yet another creation devoted to King Crab, who decided, once again, to make his appearance among this family…..only this time Amy's leg was fair game as one of the creatures decided to rush towards her as she sat along the shore, scrambling up her leg.  I'll let you imagine the course of events after that excitement.

So, this little one designed the sand creature, adding the scowling the eyes and the mouth entirely by himself.

He said that the crab was mad, and that was why it had run up Aunt Amy's leg.

No one mentioned how Amy felt about all of this!

But there was even more excitement to come:

A Mullet on the line caused this little one to proclaim that we now have a new Mullet Man in the family.

Poor Pap Pap G has apparently lost the title.  Because, only a short while later, yet another was caught by the new champion.

At the end of the day, it was clearly time to head back to the beach house.

Where we all could relax with a little refreshment.

Obviously it was quite a hit!!
