The Funny …

cartwheel

It never fails. Funny things always happen at the beach. It’s one of the reasons I love it so much. I was happy to have my camera handy to capture a few funny things this go round. For instance, look at my brother attempting a cartwheel. He thought he did a good job . . . until he saw this picture.

Did I mention that it was a little chilly the first day we were at the beach? My SIL decided that donning her goth apparel would be appropriate for the weather. We have now nicknamed her “Beach Ninja”.

Watching Big C get in the water for the first time was giggle inducing. The water was a mere 58 degrees. This picture is of him trying to get his arms up so they don’t have to endure the torture. Can you imagine what his face looks like at this point?

One of the things that makes the beach trip so fun is that my kids get to indulge in all the sugar cereal their bodies can handle. This results in cereal at least three times a day. The first morning I saw RedDog and his Cocoa Puffs illuminated by the light and had to take a picture. It’s like the Holy Grail of cereal.

This person is NOT the Beach Ninja. But she’s trying real hard. The Queen made us all laugh with her double layers of glasses – one pair for reading, the other for being cool. I think she’s pulled it off.

I call this picture “Smack Talk 101”. It’s my brother giving The Hubby grief over horseshoes. Boys are funny.

Another beach highlight is Kohr Brother’s frozen custard. It is pretty much heaven in a cone. We had to drive to two different locations to get the coveted banana flavor. So worth it, if the look on RedDog’s face rings true.

One last funny. This boy, who was dying for the custard, didn’t quite make it. Instead, he retired early in the car and missed the entire outing. Gob open, breathing heavy. Man, the beach wears you out.

One last beach post tomorrow. Hope you’ll join me.

I hope your next post includes your sand contest. I have really been looking forward to seeing your creations this year. They are always so amazing.

His cartwheel is better than mine. (I thought he was showing off his breakdancing moves!)
I love the ninjas, twisty cone, cold water bravery, smack talk and sleeping boy pictures too.
But the cartwheel is definitely my favorite.
