Battle with the Ocean

Today was supposed to have storms this afternoon, but once the boys woke up from their nap it was still nice out so we decided to take a quick trip to play with our new sand toys by the water. We packed up the toys, a beach towel, and camera then headed down there. Once we got there we took turns holding the boys with their feet in the water and taking some cute pictures. Then we put the blanket out and went to sit down and play with toys when IT happened! Ben had gone a few steps away to get our shoes to hold the beach towel down when a giant wave came and washed out our towel, the toys, the boys, and the camera. He came running back and helped me grab the boys, towel, blanket, camera, and a few of the toys that had not already gone to sea! We had set up the beach towel a few feet away from the highest water line yet this giant wave decided to come just as Ben walked away and I was left to fend by myself. Needless to say we lost the battle with the ocean badly!

Started with: 2 happy boys, digital camera, beach towel, bucket of toys

Walked away with: 2 screaming boys, soaked beach towel, 3 toys, non-functional digital camera

So we will not be able to upload any of our cute ocean pictures until we get home and can put the memory card in an older camera. This also means we will not be able to take any more digital pictures this beach trip so we will be going out to buy some disposable cameras!

Here are a few pictures I took on my cell phone though....
