After grabbing the kids from school, my friend Claudia and her son headed to the beach with us. We parked near Bob's Pizza so we could head there for dinner after a couple hours in the water.

The boys had a great time catching waves, sharing the boogie board, doing hand-stands in the water, and getting tossed by yours truly. (Nearly lost my top on one of the boy-tossings thanks to a rogue arm grabbing at me after a “helicopter” spin over my shoulder followed by a tossing, then a huge wave washed me up on shore and nearly took my bottom off!). The water was warm, and the waves were pretty good. Ben got very brave, as you’ll be able to tell in a couple pictures 🙂 Thanks for a great time, guys!

And he's up! A couple of older folks were sitting on the beach watching everyone play and really enjoyed seeing the boys go at it. It was nice to look up and see their smiles, reminding me of when mom and Richard are here.
