At Wanda's Request

At Wanda's request I honor you with a few more beach photos. The "Purple Lady" really was a favorite with me. I hope she had her eyes closed when I snapped the photo. She never flinched or moved at all and I tried not to be obvious. I really think she was taking a snooze and never knew anything of my mischief.

The life guards were also looking pretty relaxed though somewhat bored. This one looked up and down the beach while twirling his whistle around and around on his finger. I held my camera up against my shoulder and he never knew I was snapping photos. I think he was more worried about whether or not people were swimming in the unguarded section of beach.

This little girl was just really enjoying the cool water. Isn't she beautiful? The water was full of children splashing and playing but this one really was pretty. This stretch of beach is wonderful for kids because the sand bar goes out such a great distance. Deep enough to swim and shallow enough to allow a crowd of people.



Did I mention the life guards looking relaxed? I suppose this guy was paying attention, there were a multitude of swimmers in the water, but he looked like he could also lean back and close his eyes for a nap (kind of like the Purple Lady). I don't know where his whistle was, maybe around his neck. Then again, maybe not. I don't see it.

The kids and I started out toward the pier, but it was a very long walk to the end and none of us felt like trekking all the way out, at least not that day. My flip flops are not comfy in the least and Hannah was feeling sleepy. I decided not to pressure them or put blisters on my feet and we turned back toward the beach again.


Yes, there lots of people at the lake. Notice the man sitting on the yellow dump truck? Had I noticed him then I would have taken a better close up shot. I really do need to head back to the beach once more before school starts, but I'm not quite sure where to fit it in.
