yes.
there were sharks at the beach today. alex came home for the day and so we headed out for some time together. the state park at the water is as good a place as any to go. water. sand. trees and grass everywhere. trails. playground. bathrooms. little snack shop to eat burgers, or have a crazy flavored snow cone. yes. a great place to retreat as a family on a summery saturday.
as alex and the kids took off their shoes to walk in the water...i noticed something blackish or grey sticking up in the water. at first i didn't think anything of it, but it kept popping up. and then i got this funny scaredy-cat feeling inside and i told alex--there is something in the water. and i dont just mean, way out in the water...about 12 feet away from us...and as we are all looking to see it again, more and more of them pop up. good lordy...there are sharks in the water.
i'll have you know this mama got her babies out of that water something quick. and so we spent some time safely on the sand looking and hollering back and forth at each other...oh there's one...oh theres more oh look---what a commotion we were causing. alex finally decided we needed to leave.
the kids did warn the bunch of teenagers who showed up after us...and they began their own hollering etc...
good times.
good stories to hold on to.
xoxox
ps. if i can remember i will come back to add the photos i took of us at the beach...and a few of the water pictures that do not have sharks in them, even though i tried and tried...they were just too quick for me. but believe me--they were really there. my kids are still talking about it.
