To the Beach!

Hey fans,

Technically today is the last day of school for Yours Truly.  Technically.  I mean, I had to show up and turn in my keys and stuff like that, but hell. . . without students on hand to not pay attention and/or 'swag' up the place, it didn't really feel like work.  I wore shorts and flip-flops for Christ's sake, and ran out the clock until 4:00. . . when Summer 'officially' started.

Anyway, while I was hard at work*, Kris decided to take her mom and the girls out to Cocoa Beach for the morning.

Check it out:

Cocoa Beach, FL.

Marcy hadn't seen the Atlantic before, so she was pretty happy with the morning outing. . .

Our kids are pretty apprehensive about actually swimming in the Ocean. . . but I can't really blame them.  The Atlantic coast of Florida has one of the highest concentration of shark attacks in the world.  Not that they know that - they just don't like waves larger than two inches.  Because they're cowards.

This is about as far as they'll go into the Ocean without being carried.

Snack break.

Getting some color. . .

Not sure if they're enjoying this or not.

That umbrella sucks.  I want to get one of those four-pole jobs you see sometimes at a beach. They're like a mobile patio, and don't blow over when there's a 2mph wind gust.

Abby springs into action. . .

Kris is about to be bit by a vamp-child.  Just like in one of those chick books.

Thug life.
