Beaches

I think that I might go to the beach today.  I enjoy going to sit on my blanket, under my beach umbrella and watching the people.  Everyone is having such a good time, laughing, sunning themselves, playing with their children, eating food that always manages to get sand in it.  That would be the only thing I do not like about the beach, the sand, it follows you around for years after.  I remember when I was little.  My mom and dad would always make us take our flip flops down to the water and rise them off as well as our feet.  I never understood this, because if you put flip flops on to walk back to the car, then you are flicking up all that sand on to the back of your calf.  So instead of being sand free for the car ride home my mom would look at us and say something like…How in the WORLD did you get all that sand on you? Didn’t you rinse off like your Father and I told you?  Of course, we would all just look at each other wondering why my Mom just couldn’t see the connection between the sand caked on the back of our legs and the flip flops.  Anyway, I hope you have a fantastic day, and if you see me down there at the beach, come on up and say hi, we can build a sand castle together.
