a quiet day

We're staying in today. Not all day and Jacob was down playing in the sand earlier. But the surf is high and the undertow strong. Far more stress than I care for trying to keep up with a three-year-old who has no fear of the ocean. We still have tomorrow to play in the water.

Today we can simply enjoy our view. This view. Right off of the deck of the house.


The picture really doesn't convey the strength and ferocity of the surf today. High tide was the highest it has been all week. It may calm down enough by low tide to be able to swim some. If not, it's still a magnificent view.

Safety is a good thing! Especially with fearless three year olds! Once upon a yesteryear I was in a beach house (just visiting, though) when there was a hurricane off shore. Remember when Sharon rented one in Sandbridge? Anyway, yes, the power and ferocity of the ocean can make you feel itty bitty by comparison. Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

So you are staying in one of those beach houses. lucky you! The ocean seems fierce and will drag a little kid out to sea in no time, so keep him safe. Enjoy your day off.

That looks such a beautiful place. I understand your worries about the water. I have great respect fo the sea but sadly the little ones don't quite 'get it'!
