This morning at Banana Beach

The weather has been super-mega-smashing fine for the past few days. Cool, dry breezes and sunny skies. This morning I had to go see the water and read. I took Claire and Race with me for fun and Sunny stayed home with Gwen to make cookies.

My reading didn't happen but the fun sure did. Bananas were the late morning snack of choice. Race apparently likes his with a little sand sprinkled on. I managed a self-portrait of Race and I by propping the camera on the windshield. The blue flipflops pictured are probably still sitting right there as I type this. I forgot them there but since the 'thong' part is frayedand only a few steps from breaking anyway the winter Texan beachcombers can have them. I hate it when I fray a thong.

The surf was clean and a number of surfers were out in wet suits to freeze their cans off while waiting to stand on a board for 3-6 seconds and fall in again...just like we do in the summer. I think I'll wait until May. I hate cold water.
