Rainy Day at the Beach

My mom and sisters packed up all their kids and headed to the beach for a day trip on Thursday.  We were worried when we got to Fort Fischer and the lifegaurds had just told everyone that they were closing down for at least an hour because of a storm that was passing through {okay, maybe just I was worried, and maybe a little bit frustrated}, but we drove down the coastline until we found a Public Beach Access where lifeguards wouldn't be a problem.  Aren't lifegaurds a serious hassle sometimes?  Our spot on the beach was perfect -- it had a tide pool where the girls could play out of the waves.  The weather was cloudy and a little rainy at times, but also cool and breezy and wonderful.  We all had so much fun, except Elaine, who slept the whole time we were on the beach.  The only thing more I could have asked for was not so many creepy guys walking around slowly.  And a bathroom would have been nice.
