We ended up not attending any official July 4th fireworks.
But as it turned out we did not have to. There were plenty of amateur displays up and down the beach that were pretty spectacular.
Sunday, after two fun nights of playing Wings, Keiran and Emily had to leave us. (Wings is a board game based on birds and their habitats, very challenging and fun)
On the subject of odd things to bring with you to the beach I am adding guitar.
Then yesterday, I was standing in the surf trying to decide if I wanted to get all the way in and jump some waves or not. I am finding that I have to be a little more careful with my athletic decisions since my broken back than I use to. Anyway, while contemplating the situation I saw this knife right at my feet. Now I had to decide if I could snatch it out of the water without cutting myself before a wave could impale it into my leg. I was successful and carried it back to my chair.
My second try and getting in the water was met with more danger. When I looked down in the surf this time there I found this tackle set stuck in the sand. Another trip back to the chair. My third attempt to get in was successful. I didn’t find any more hazards.
It is also always good to see the sea turtles nesting. We even made a trip to the sea turtle hospital. I have always wanted to go but it never seemed to work out. But this year Linda got us tickets and we went. More on that next time.
