At the beach. And it's excellent. We left early this morning, and were paid off in spades for the effort. Basically, we got here by about 3:30 and had a fantastic short day at the beach. The swimming conditions are literally the best I can remember in my 12 or so years at Duck. Waves are there, but not too big or crazy. The bottom is almost entirely sand.
Aspen, Oakley, and I spent a good hour in the water rolling around and playing. Each year, the ocean decides for me what my "game" will be in the water. This has been the case since I was 10 years old or something. Some years it's body surfing, some years flipping over waves, there was even that year I decided to try that thing where you slide on the thin layer of water on the shore. For me, that was called "falling on your *ss".
Well, this year's game is bowling. I go out to the point where I can body surf, and point myself in the direction of my daughters, and see if I can run into them. Good clean fun was had by all.
I am now exhausted, and heading for bed.
