Sometimes the big people need to rest or catch up on life, while the short people need to run around and get the rowdies out.  One way to keep everybody happy is to take a trip to the beach.  This time, we brought our new sun canopy.  Our previous $30 big-box special couldn’t stand up to anything more than a breeze, so we ordered one made by Kelty.  Kelty makes indestructible tents, we figured the sun canopy would be pretty good, too.  Carmen helped us put it together.

David was too busy getting down to business, though.

Here’s a picture of me enjoying the shade, filling out some paperwork and appreciating the relative quiet (the sound of the waves drowns out all the screaming!).  After a while I started to get a bit itchy, though, and a few minutes after this picture was taken I realized I was being attacked by two species of sand flea.   Itchy, itchy!  I guess there’s a first time for everything.  Maybe the sand fleas wanted to hang out in the sun shade, too.

Meanwhile, C&D were busy splashing and earth-moving.

Around dinnertime we started to work our way back home, stopping at Buc-ee’s to get some Benadryl for my itchy bits.
