I am grateful for a day at the beach in December.

Spray sunblock

Riding a boat and having fun.
 And in this shot, admiring the tractor that pulled us into the water.

Watching kids play in sand, even when they fight over shovels and buckets.

Impromptu beach play with a surprise bonus surfboard ride to see some sand sharks.

A very nice paddle-boarder gave them a ride out a few feet from shore.
