PCB 2015 Leaving Day
Our last day at the beach was a tough one. I had to leave the family vacation on
Wednesday (as opposed to Saturday) because I was leaving to go to Uganda the next
day. The day started with a run and then
took the boys down to the beach for one last swim. I am not ashamed to say that I was really
sad. I didn’t want to leave the
beach. The boys are old enough to really
enjoy the ocean. Finn and Sam played at
the beach much more than they played at the pool. They loved building sand castles and jumping
waves. Today as we were driving home I
asked Sam what his favorite thing was about the beach and he said, “jumping the
waves.” His idea of jumping the waves
was to have me hold him and he would grab onto my neck. He would then look out to sea and say, “I SEE
ONE MAMA; JUMP!” And we jumped over the wave.
When he saw a big wave he said, “oh my gosh – the biggest wave I’ve ever
seen!”
We also saw a lot of fish.
There was hardly anyone in the ocean at 7:45 a.m. and you could see tons
of fish. I feel very certain that I saw
a baby shark. I felt a very dense object
run into my leg so when I looked down to see a long, pointy, grey fish swimming
through the water. We also saw an
enormous fish jump out of the water and a crab scurry sideways down the sand
into the ocean. There were also lots of little shells lying around so the boys
collected shells and gave them to me.
We left around 11:00 a.m. We made a quick stop at the Sonic
and we are now all cramped up in the car heading for Hendersonville.
The boys entertained themselves in the backseat until we
stopped for lunch at Jim-N-Nicks. Nothing
of note happened at lunch except that Finn thought the bathroom smelled
disgusting and refused to use the toilet unless I would help him put paper on
the seat.
We made it home by 8:30. The last two hours of the trip were pretty pleasant. The boys watched Godzilla videos on Youtube.
