The waves were rough everyday that we were at the beach. One thing good about it was the weather was cool. It rained just about every night and the days were breezy and cool.





The waves were beautiful but they sure banged you around.








Mckay had a blast in the water but then one of the waves caught him and started rolling him and then tossed him head first into the sand bar. He came running up to his mother and by the time he got to her two life guards were there asking him how he was. The one life guard made him lie down and held his neck and we covered him with a beach towel. They called the paramedics and you could hear the ambluance in the distance coming.







After the paramedics went over him they decided he was okay but told him not to go in the water the rest of the day.










Earlier in the day Lincoln was standing in the water with his board talking to dad and me, when a wave caught his board and slammed it into his knee causing it to go backward. He went down and then dad tried to help Lincoln up and he went down. The lifeguard was watching but didn't come over to help. Chancy and Matthew got Lincoln up and I helped dad get up. All this time Tina was reading her book and didn't see anything happen. I know if I had signaled the life guard she would have gotten us help then also.

That is scary that Mckay got bashed around so much. Glad he is ok. Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun.
