Let's Boogie

After four days, Nathan started asking to stay home from the beach. He was a wild man in the water, but the waves were sometimes too much for him, and the water was cold. And by cold I don't mean "The water's a bit chilly this morning, just get it over your shoulders and you'll be fine." I mean you step onto the water and your joints begin aching from the cold and after five minutes, if you've managed to work your way to your waist, you realize you've lost all feeling in your thighs. A shark could be gnawing off your foot and you'd have no idea because you're entire body is numb.

So I bribed the boys with Boogie Boards, something they've been asking for since last year.

They were so excited, and ran in right away to use them. Of course, the water was very cold, and the waves that day turned violently hard and high, so we had to pull them out of the water before noon anyway, but it made for a fun day.
