The kids asked me top go to East Beach in Ocean View with them for a bit.
A killer hot day today with heat indexes in the 100-110 degrees F range, but still really nice out in the shallow water of East Beach.
The floor of the water area is clear and soft, and shallow enough to walk way out, a plus with young kids. And, the waves are really minimal. The lack of waves makes the water particularly clear.
Ellis and I spent our time devising ways to capture small schools of fish which swam all around us, but we were unsuccessful. On the way out, however, MOMMY and Ellis actually caught one!!
Meet Emily, in our little green shell bag with the net bottom:
Emily is back with her family, no worries!
Not our boat:
Day 1 of the 2019 Summer Cheeseburger Challenge:
Ellis hadn’t tried a cheeseburger until July 4th when she tried one Papa grilled, and liked it. So we decided to try every* cheeseburger in Hampton Roads this summer, and began with a classic, McDonalds! (she liked it)
This toad greeted me on the top step at my back door first thing in the morning:
All in all, a very pleasant morning.
