A Day at the Beach

Going  to the beach is one of our favorite things to do in the summer. Im not a big fan of being outdoors for hours at a time id much rather be inside with the a.c. on but the beach i something i really enjoy and the kids love it. Jordan loves it he rides the waves with his dad and loves to get knocked around, hes not scared at all! My jr is not as excited to be in the ice cold water but will stick his feet in every now and then.

The last time we went to the beach we found a baby shark that had been caught by a fisherman and then left attached to the hook pretty much to die. When we found it it was still alive, barely but alive. It was the coolest thing ever, obviously the only real life shark ive seen has been at an aquarium so this was a once in a lifetime thing. It looked fake and felt not at all like i imagined a shark would feel. I thought it would feel slimey or jelly like but instead it felt rough and dry like sandpaper. I had read thats what they felt like but they way they look makes you think otherwise. We felt so bad for it so my husband took the giant hook out of its mouth and let it go free. Id like to think it survived but it was just really weak and i dont really know what kind of shark it was.
