Throwbacks on throwbacks

On Wednesday I had the chance to visit a beach that I havn't been to in almost a decade! As a kid, my grandpa use to take my little sister, my eldest cousin and I out for a day at the beach. I hadn't realized that I had came back to this very beach because of all the changes that has happened over the years. It was throughout this event that I was having a blast dancing to the cha-cha slide and throw back songs, drawing my own hopscotch layout for the kids, fish printing and throwing around the giant beach ball (all while being as responsible as possible)!

I would say everyday with Save the Harbor/ Save the Bay was a highlight of my summer so far, however that particular Wednesday was definitely in the top ranks! It may or may not have been due to the fact that I had a lot of blueberry and watermelon slush that day!

Here's a picture of how big the beach ball is compared to my foot! This monstrous beach ball was not even at full sized yet when I took a picture with it. After a few minutes of incorrectly using the electric air pump, it was thanks to Preston's observation skills that I needed to adjust the pump. Shout outs to this guy for playing a huge role in making sure the kids that day had a colossal beach ball to play with! It took the collaborative effort of Joe, Edward and myself to transport this thing from the Pavilion area to the sandy beach.

Family FUN Night!

So much happened on Family Fun Night! So many families came down to enjoy a night at the beach, along with exciting activities for the kids. I started out by making bracelets with my friend Brian. He made me a blue one with a football. I made him a green one with a baseball on it. He said it was better than the one his older sister made him and he wishes that he made her a cool one like the baseball one. The one he made me was the third one that I got that day! I just might have to wear them all at once since they're so great.

After making superstar bracelets with Brian, I stormed the beach with a 12 foot beach ball! It was probably the most fun that I've had so far this summer. Just seeing a 12 foot beach ball going back and forth across the beach is a sight in itself. People stopped just to watch us play with it. Kids were teaming up together to push it up and down the beach. They even pretended it was a super monster beach ball and were running away from it, pretending it was going to get them. So many smiles and laughs were produced by this over sized ball of fun. It was a great family night and can't wait for more to come. Until next time, and keep saving the harbor, Preston.
