Life's a beach with Grandma Susan & Grandpa Lance!



There's no fun like Beach fun. Today Caiden, Grandpa Lance and Grandma Susan went to the beach. They looked at the shops, ate at Ruby's on the pier in Huntington and even saw some sand sharks and sting rays in the ocean. I joined them later for some fun in the sand. Caiden especially enjoyed playing in the sand with Lance, while David went for a quick 2-mile run on the beach.

The day was not without its drama. Right when we were ready to pack up and go 2 lifeguard trucks come racing to the lifeguard station where we were sitting. Plenty of cops followed suit, and a Police helicopter started circling overhead. From what we gathered, an older gentleman was taking pictures of girls on the beach (probably rather intrusively). One guy didn't particularly like his girlfriend being stared at, or having her picture taken. He asked the guy to hand him the camera, which of course the old guy declined. One thing led to another until the young guy got in the old guy's face and then knocked the hat off his head. Of course the cops got involved before the fight continued, but the cops seemed only to be upset with the old guy. They basically let the young guy go, but made the old guy kneel on his knees by the lifeguard station. It appears that they took his camera. Not sure if they kept it, erased the pictures, or took the memory card as we left before the conclusion. We did see them writing the old guy a ticket. Hmm...wonder what happened? Never a dull moment when the Bonney's are around :)

What a nice day. I miss building sand castles. I am sure in a few years I will be building them with Micah.

Funny you say that Wendy. While we were at the beach, I looked at Susan and said I can't wait until Micah is old enough that Caiden and him can play like this together.

Looks like you guys had fun.

I've never really liked the beach, way too sandy. :)
