A Day At The Beach (Day 3)
Today was just a lounge-around day. It is supposed to be one of the nicest days this week, so we decided to go to the beach. We have to walk a few blocks to get there, but Grandma is smart and rented a wagon, beach chairs and other things from a rental center on the island. I can’t believe there is probably still snow on the ground at home. This weather kind of makes me want to move somewhere warmer!
When we got to the beach the boys dove right in. The ocean is freezing, but they were boogie boarding and skim-boarding the whole day.

I think Colton has allergies like his Dad. He spent the first half of the time at the beach sniffling and sneezing. He soon forgot about them after he stole my Diet Pepsi!

We had plenty of entertainment on the beach, but then again, my brothers are always entertaining. Seagulls were flying around waiting for us to throw a scrap, but the boys couldn’t just throw a dorito and be done with it. Ben had a great idea to see if a seagull could take the dorito out of his hand….
Didn’t work.
OK, on to something else. How about out of the mouth?
Nope.
Ok so maybe they won’t see me if I’m buried under the sand. I can put a Dorito right on top.

Soon all of the seagulls were swarming around him trying to grab the Doritos. I think it scared the crap out of him! I don’t think Ben will ever mess with seagulls again.

We ended the night with dinner at Lee Roy Selmon’s, which only has locations in Florida, but I think they should expand. If you are in the Florida area, you should definitely check out this restaurant for some southern comfort food!
