Wave Days

Hey, its Grace. Yesterday we had a couple small storms passing through, but nothing too major. We spent most of the morning doing school... blegh. We did some fun things though like stop at Wal-Mart and running through five minute downpours. Once we were done, we decided to head to the beach. It's so nice because we're only a block from the beach and can just walk. Of course, by this time the rain stopped.

When we reached the beach I was very surprised. Two days ago the water had been crystal clear without a single wave, but now the water had waves! That may not sound like a big deal, but it was to us because we really missed them.  I've always grown up with waves going to Ocean City, Maryland and Ocracoke. 

We grabbed our boogie boards and rode a ton of waves. While we were out there some people gave us live sand dollars. It was really neat. It was funny too because while at Wal-Mart the one lady told us that all the surfers came to the beach right where we were and it was true.  Several feet down the beach there wasn't a single surfer, but right where we were we saw surfers and several people on paddle boards. My dad also got to ride his boat, and he surfed a couple waves.

It was a great day and when we came home we got to watch the Olympics and I got to read my new book. Definitely a fun day!
