Back to the Beach

The end of September we joined with Allen's brothers and their families for one last "hurrah" at the beach.





The zany girl cousins - Abagail, Karoleena, Katrina, and Manissa

Every time we go to the beach we experience something new. This time the water was very calm. No real waves - if you can call the waves at Mustang Island "real". The water was also very warm, slightly slimy, and green. Lots of "gunk" in the water. It was alive - it belonged there more than we did - but it was gunky.



Kids swimming in the "lovely" water.

While playing out on a sandbar, the dads tossed kids into a shallow area - playing with them of course. Unfortunately the kids were immediately stung multiple times by jellyfish. The theory was that a group of jelly fish were hanging out there and probably would have moved if they had been approached...but were not expecting people to just drop into their area.


The silly boy cousins - Tomas, Oliver, Simon and Ryan

Not the most pleasant water conditions but a fun day anyway.


My cuties playing in the sand and surf.


We had quite the set up. SHADE - which is the 2nd essential item...after fresh water. The other essentials were also covered - family+food+fun.
