Every year for about 10 years we have been spending Labor Day at the beach with family. Every year it varies as to who all comes but the core remains of us, Kim& James & family, and Stephen& Carol & family.
We have a ton of fun together playing on the beach during the day, staying up playing games at night, maybe hunting crabs at night or going fishing.
And we always dig a big hole and bury the kids in the sand....
Except this year! This year, the hole was dug but the kids had disappeared to the pool. By the time they got back, the tide was coming in and there was too much water to bury them safely. So they found other uses for it!
We had a good sized crowd this year. Paige, Leann and Jasmine brought friends. Brandon and Melissa made it in from college.
Linda and Buddy were in from Longview. Even Amber and her husband& family were there.
Due to the hurricane that had just occurred south of us, there was not much wind and so there were no waves for any boogie boarding for the adults. But Ethan caught a couple of decent rides. Too bad there was nor a camera handy to record it!
But the kids had fun in the sand. Taylor made Ethan's name for him and Bri collected shells and friends.
They caught a jellyfish and a hermit crab and a sand crab.
Brian went deepsea fishing with James one night. He caught the first fish... A 19 1/4" shark. It was also the biggest and was going to win the prize... Unroll at the end James caght a 20 1/2" shark! Oh well!
