Ocean City in April

So, remember last year when we had a freak wave in April, so my friend and I went to the beach. It all felt so odd. But then it happened again now. Is it freak, or the new normal?

We had so much fun last year, that when I saw the forecast spiking up to 90 degrees, I said to Al, "you wanna go to the beach again?" She was game and we dragged another friend from church in with our folly.
The traffic was bad this time. It felt like we spent forever in the car. The water was so cold it made me feet hurt just to touch it. The kids had a blast. Ellis kept skimming through surf, filling buckets of water and sand, and coming up to me to tell me how much fun he was having.

The two girls are just a few months younger than Marlowe. They dug and dug in the sand. They have a lot of fun together.
