Had another late start...all this relaxation takes time! We decided to go swim on the sound side at a place known as the Canadian Hole. Apparently lots of Canadians like it there or something. In May we have seen many kiteboarders there. It's very popular. Must not be kiteboarding season now because there were none.
It was h-h-h-hot today. And unfortunately the sound side of the island doesn't get the wonderful ocean breezes. It was just...stagnant. Small beach that was very crowded. Our ocean spot only has a few people scattered around. It's a great place for Lea, though, because there are no waves. And it is very shallow even out far. Perfect for her to swim without the scary giant waves!

| No waves! |
Brad says he was pretty uncomfortable sitting on that beach. The parents were either not watching their kids, or screaming nastiness at them all the time. That's just not how we roll.
I was so hot that I bought...wait for it...a BATHING SUIT. But Lainie and I left to buy one, and when we came back, Lea was ready to be done. So we came home for lunch and a rest (because beach life is tiring) and went to the ocean later. Lea decided she had enough swimming for the day and stayed behind to watch a movie.
I was excited to swim with Brad and Lainie because they have so much fun body surfing. Well...things didn't go too well for me! First off, here is a lesson for ya. If you have not been swimming in YEARS, it is best to not go off into the ocean with huge, violent waves. My advice is to stay near the shore. So yeah, here I go. In deep with my peeps who have much experience in the ocean. A huge wave was coming and I was already floundering a bit trying to keep my balance. I was yelling, "I'm scared!" Lainie yelled back, because it's so loud we had to yell, "Go THROUGH the wave!!" I'm all, "Huh?" Then crash, glub glub bubbly glub. I was inside a ginormous wave and it was pushing me towards the shore then pulling me back out. All while I swallowed yummy salt water. And sniffed it up my nose. Hey, free Neti pot!! I slowly struggled my way out of the water, being knocked down a few more times. I was panting, unable to catch my breath for about 10 minutes! Can you say WIMP?

| They make it look so easy! |

| This never gets old. And look...a ship! |

| Singing and dancing! |
 |
| It was so much prettier in real life! |
Quote from Lea: "Mommy, I'm glad we can afford this place."
Me, too, Lea. Me, too!
