We've been here less than 24 hours...

And I'm online looking for a Sprint store.

We had the 4 youngest kids out on the beach by 9am.  Last night my nephew learned to ride the body board out in the waves.  
He really is a quick learner...but at 5 years old, he has a little difficulty steering the thing.
I was talking to his mom...
 looked up...
 And, saw him coming straight for me on a "perfect" wave.
  
He looked like he would miss me if I could just raise up my leg and let him go under...

...you know where this is going...

So, I lifted up my leg...
 he bumped his head on my calf...
 And flipped me onto my back!

Not a problem! 
The water wasn't very cold, but I still had my cell phone in my pocket!  
Now, THAT's a problem!

I have to say that the upside...I am trying hard not to be such a pessimist...is that NO ONE got a picture or video!

Did you REALLY think I would let you see that?!

Not a Chance!

But, here are a couple of pictures that I will share:

Thing 2 was first out of bed...at 5:30am!  He was very impressed with the sunrise...I, on the other hand, am glad that I got to see the first one since I may not make it to any more of them!
Thing 2 is going to be one of my guest "blog-tographers" this week.  He loves taking pictures!
This is just one of the buckets of crabs that the kids caught last night!  
We've had a couple of pinched fingers...and toes!  
There are lots of little crabs in the surf.

I'm not in any big hurry to get back home, but I sure do wish we had been able to fit in the sewing machine and a couple of projects!  I will just have to settle for the little bit of knitting that I brought with me.

Happy Day!
