Beach Day

Finally!  A beach day!

looking down our stairs to the beach

Why we aren't swimming on our beach day!  Because of the storms there were plenty of sharks in the water.  They found 2 in the shark nets this morning and some inside the nets.  No Swimming!!

So, we had literally a beach day - playing on the beach.  But, it was still great.








We were right next to a tidal pool/swimming area - and even though the Indian Ocean was rough and not very warm this time of year, our kids still resorted to swimming wherever they could.




We also found lots of sand crabs and shells.



My favorite thing to do on the beach!


The ship you can see in the distance is a ship that wrecked during the storm and ran aground.  We had watched the rescue helicopters during the storm.  Today we watched helicopters haul equipment out to the ship to pump out the oil they were illegally carrying. 

Our beach house.  The kids did swim in the freezing cold pool for a few minutes.  Sometimes you will do anything when you are desperate!

Sunset at the end of the day!
