Doggie Paddle!

Yesterday we were stuck in the house all day waiting for furniture to be delivered. The boys, the dogs, and I were out of our mind with boredom and Noah wanted to try out his new rash guard at the beach. He suggested going to the beach about a million times during dinner so we headed off to the dog beach. Since it was dinner time for the sharks we conviently forgot Noah's boogie board! No worries, we are headed off to the beach in a few minutes so Noah will get his boogie boarding fun today. There was a storm close by so it was cloudy and breezy which was nice!

Headed towards the river approach.
During high tide there is no beach on parts of the river. The mangroves just ahead of us are in fairly deep water so we actually have to swim around them. The boys think they are some sort of adventurers (they call themselves survivors) when they get to swim around those so that is the highlight of their night!
After the swim, the boys and Abby pose for a picture.
Here we are once we reach the ocean.

The boys playing on the inlet rocks just above the shark infested waters! Because of Bertha the waves are big and there were TONS of surfers out. Noah was happy to see that they weren't being eaten by sharks. He fears everything lately! Even though the surfers were safe he still wouldn't chance the waters! He didn't think about it for a second while he was swimming around the mangroves though!
On the walk back to the car we took the path to keep the dogs dry. Noah and I nearly stepped on this snake! This is the third snake this week that I have had a close encounter with. Don't they know I don't like them!!!!
