But I much prefer hanging on the beach for the day or on the rare occasion, playing in the waves. This is how I spent most of my time out in the ocean.
Hands and feet UP ON the board. Especially after I saw three big fish jump really high right where I was surfing and after Kaia brought this in from the ocean.
It is half a lobster head......YUCK. And I didn't have booties which meant my feet had to touch. Let's just say that today I determined I love the beach. I love that my family loves to surf and hang out in the water and that they are OK with me sunbathing. I have no regrets. I tried it again and didn't love it. Not like I did on the East Coast. I loved surfing with Dave back when I was 20 something. It is a lot of work to 'pop up' on a surfboard when you are relatively 'out of shape'. HA....and I thought I was well on my way. My legs need a lot of work! As well as my arms. The first time I tried to get up my arms collapsed! I laughed at myself....because that is the right thing to do. Life is fun and so are some of the experiences! Tomorrow I will be sunbathing.
Did Kaia pick it up with her hands??? I think I might squeal like a little girl right now, far away from a beach, sand, ocean, and lobsters. I would LOVE to try surfing...so jealous. But I'd need bootie shoes. If anything gets nibbled off, it won't be my toes!
ReplyDeleteAs a Floridian who is minutes from the beach and knowing all of the things that lay beneath the waves, yeah...I'm with ya!
