Wahoo!
These waves are so much fun! I paddled out into the water on the sled that
Grace and Lilah brought and tried to catch a wave. I didn’t. The sleds are too
floppy to catch a good wave. I wish I brought my boogie board!
The
water at the beach that evening was warm. We arrived at the beach at around
five thirty to meet our friends Grace, Lilah, Marlin, Evren and Kaya. After we played
in the water for a fair bit we went back to the parents to have dinner and a
snack. It was yummy.
Once
our chicken and bars were devoured, Grace, Marlin and I headed out again. We
wanted to go to the same spot we were before (because there was no seaweed
there and Grace loathed seaweed), but we couldn’t find it. During our search, a lady asked if we
could watch her daughter swim for a bit (because she didn’t bring her suit) and
we said yes. Marlin took over that job and we asked her if it was okay for us
to go and swim and she said yes.
Grace
and I got into the water and by that time the waves were getting bigger and even
more fun! Lilah came to join us and when all of us were playing, I put my foot
down and I heard a Crunch! Something pinched my foot! It hurt! I paddled back
to shore to look at my foot and couldn’t see anything so I got back into the
water and Lilah asked me if I wanted to paddle out far with her and I said
sure. We were out pretty far when Grace and Marlin yelled at us, “Hey Guys!” They
yelled, “The parents said we weren’t allowed to go farther out than our
belly-buttons!” “Our Belly Buttons!” I yelled back in shock. By now we were
already over our heads! They nodded. I wanted to go negotiate with the parents
because that was a ridiculous rule!
Running
back to the parents, we negotiated with them to alter their rule. They agreed
to let us go farther than our belly buttons. We said yes and decided to go back
into the water. Grace and I tried to duck dive with the sleds like surfers and
it was really fun!
Before
long we came out and all of us decided to play a big game of Frisbee and go on
the swings. Grace and I amused ourselves by running by the swingers without
getting hit and we were lucky that we didn’t even though it was enjoyable!
After a giant game of Frisbee, Grace, Lilah
and I went back into the water to play and it was the best! The water was the
warmest and the waves were the biggest and it was so much fun! Soon the parents
gave us the two-minute warning and then the “time to go”. We walked back to our
cars and said bye! By that time the sky was getting darker and on the way home
there was a big storm! I really enjoyed the waves at the beach!
