Under the Boardwalk

As Labor Day approached and I thought about the coming weeks of soccer and football games every Saturday, daily practices followed by Monday and Wednesday night practices, piles of homework, and the student government speech waiting to be written, I got that urge! You know the one I'm talking about, it says RUN!

So on Thursday when we went to lunch with the Poulsens it was decided we should all head for the coast. I found us a house to rent just a few doors down from the beach. It was a perfect place for the rowdy bunch of kids occupying the space, we weren't worried about ruining anything and if you ask me thats exactly as a beach house should be!

Talli and I tried making a quick dash to the store in hopes of some fresh sheets, only to find that everything was closed! And while we didn't find sheets we did get stopped at a sobriety check point, found the most hilarious things sold at the local Rite Aid, and saw some pretty interesting folks! Here is a picture from my phone of one of our favorite local crazies.

Saturday was spent playing in the sand and waves

Badminton

Smash-ball

Boogie Boarding

Reading and Napping

At 4pm everyone headed back to watch BYU whoop Oklahoma, and rinse the sand off. I opted for another hour on the beach of reading and then a gorgeous run along the coastline! That night we bundled everyone up and went to the boardwalk. It was the Poulsens first time!

The boys loved the roller coasters, and that they all had matching sweatshirts!

Good friends, fun rides, and warm sun made for some GREAT memories! Now its back to reality!
