hurricane dean
So there was a hurricane a few weeks ago, and like all responsible and level-headed citizens we hit the beach. It is just a sad fact that our children will only know the gulf to be a STICKY SANDSTORM because when the weather is bad, surf's up, dude. It wasn't that bad this time, just really windy, and we had a great time. The waves were pretty good, not as great as Brian and Anlo had hoped. Brian's board had a run in with the pier and got pretty dinged up. He was really sad about that, but he was able to bondo it up and get back out the next day.
The highlight of the trip for the kids and me was finding a huge, blue crab stranded under the pier. After much talking about the whys and hows of the situation, building a seaweed shelter for him, and general jumping around, we managed to get some other beachgoers with a huge bucket to help it back into the ocean. Bon Voyage, crabby. Now, I don't have a picture of said crab. This trip was the first time I was serious about bringing my camera and trying to take pictures and I learned a few things. First of all, it is good that the kids all have cool hair and the whole different colors thing, because they move so much the back of their heads is what I usually end up getting. Secondly, one adult, three small children, a delicate camera, and the ocean do not mix. Period. The few pictures I got of the kids actually on the beach were all taken in the first three minutes of being there, and then Autry was knocked over by a little wave and photo time was over. I couldn't even really clean the sand of her face right away because I was holding my camera. It was, as we say, a situation. So for the rest of the trip, Autry wouldn't get close to the water and I gave up on bringing the camera out. Good thing the kids love the "ho-towel", camera was safe in our room, and I got a few cute pictures in there.
