My Finding Nemo moment

This week we decided to go to PBH Beach. It's right here in Picard close to campus and directly in front of the PBH restaurant. It is also where the pier is. And let me tell you the glory of this pier is far to grand to give even the tiniest bit of mention. but for kicks I'll mention it, cause hey if I don't anyone who doesn't live here will never know. So last October this is actually where Steve "officially" proposed, but since a hurricane has ripped it apart. So the pier goes out about 20 feet and then you can look out and see where it was supposed to keep going and the birds have now taken over. I also should mention that the part that is still in good shape is missing boards and quite frightening to walk on except that we did anyways, including the kids. 

Chelsie has now become the official sand ball maker. She's so good at it. A little while later is was thrown carelessly into the sea. It really is harder to make than it looks. I mean how much sticky quality does sand have? Not much but with water it works but its still a delicate art and I prefer to be a spectator in this particular one.

This is my Finding Nemo moment. Ya know when the seagulls see something to eat and they're like "Mine mine mine" Yep that's what these birds remind me of. It was kinda cool to see a pelican out there too. I personally think pelicans are evil. Have you ever looked in their eyes. They are scary with that giant beak and their long neck and wee beady eyes. I would of course need to leave my exception because I have Lester, the pelican, at the Slc Aviary that I decided wasn't so bad last summer. He was cute and always sat by the bridge when I came to check my mosquito  traps. So I of course named him and started chatting it up with him whenever I saw him. Ah, those were the days :)
And I didn't mention that we did some snorkeling that day too. It's pretty cool to see all the fish. I like snorkeling a lot but I kinda panic in deep water so I might need to tie a life preserver to my leg so I can save myself sometimes. It's really no fun snorkeling unless you go deeper and if you stay close to the cement posts of the pier you see more colorful fish. I'd say its pretty dang cool.

One more thing about this pelican. I think it wanted to eat Chelsie. It kept getting closer and closer. And hey look at that guy. He just screams killer. Attack! Attack!
I love kids! In case people haven't noticed, they're my favorite. I think its funny that scooting around in the sand making a track and getting tons of sand in your bathing suit are the only elements needed for fun in a kids life sometimes. If only we could all be that simple.

  1. Maybe we'll go back there next Thursday - it was fun and I want to snorkel again (I'll bring our tube so you can hang on to it).
