Mondos Beach

This was July 5th at Mondos, a small surf beach. The entire family was there, besides Eric, of course. He was gone at an externship, but from now on, his breaks are his own. Finally.

As I often do, I stole all these pictures from my sister who has a much better camera than I do and actually remembers to take pictures. Thanks, Jen.

At the end of the day, the tide was coming up fast and one huge wave came up and over the sand barrier we had created to try to stop something like that... of course, Cruise and Laura Rose were playing right there in the little dugout and they got swept around pretty well. A little traumatic, I think. Luckily, Josh and Lindy were right there to grab the kiddos. Thanks for saving Cruise, Lindy, even though you jumped out to save yourself first. =) The important thing is that you jumped right back in to save Cruise. I didn't even move. =)

Everyone enjoying fireworks while Jared, James and I were parking the cars because the scary dude in the tank top harley shirt told us to and wanted to fight me and Eric wasn't there to drop-kick him and James and I almost did but you never know if they're going to pull out a gun or something. We had fun, though, right James, Jared?
