Day One: Clear, calm water. Small fussy things in breakwater area.
Day Two: Clear, even more calm water. Many jellyfish stings reported by surrounding swimmers and one close call by Holly. Absolutely perfect clear, calm water: like a swimming pool.
Day Three: Clear water with very rough surf. Decent wave action. Knocked us around… Kate (who was running towards the water yesterday) would start to say “no no no no” when we’d bring her over to get washed off.
My Dad took this picture moments before the wave building behind us came to knock all four of us on our asses. Everyone of us was in the water (I still had Kate in my arms, but she did go under for a second) and kicking all shades off of our faces. Will lost his hat earlier when he and I were swimming — I looked around for several minutes before realizing that the wave had thrown the hat way up on shore… beyond the sand castle Will had built 20 minutes prior with my Dad!
Lots of great ball-play with Skip and Emily! (Note the shirt.) 
Kate was very happy to have Daddy there, too. She’s trying to get him to open the cooler (again) in this picture.
Will LOVED the googles we got him… the ocean was so clear, we decided he could use them here as well as the pool. Only, the googles are big for his face and… well. Will: we promise, we would never let you go to grade school looking like this.
