Our Day Today

This afternoon the kids were across the road working on their big hole in the sand. So they wanted me to see it and take some pictures of them. The hole is huge. They have a lot of fun playing in the sand.




Here is Trevor in the hole.

Tyler, Trevor and Alexis still working. Tanner was fishing at the time so he wasn't in the hole.






On Saturday night a ship went aground on the reef. Sunday we went across the beach to see it, but I couldn't get the camera to focus that far away. So tonight we drove down to Northwest Point where it was stuck. We were much closer and so we were able to get a few pictures of it.









When I first walked on the beach tonight I felt something funny on the bottom of my feet. I didn't know what it was. Well, to find out, it was oil and tar that washed ashore from the ship. So here is the bottom of my foot. I would walk and the sand and rocks would stick into the tar and make the bottom of my feet hurt. I guess in a way I feel like I had been tared and feathered, except it was sand instead of feathers. Ha! By the time we walked all the way to the end (which is quite a long walk) and back most of the stuff worked its way off of my feet, but I still had to scrub to get it all off at home.
