The Beach.

Things that happened at the beach: 

Quinn almost stepped on a shark
Mike brought the shark in on a line
Jon decided to grab it and turned the beach into a shark petting zoo complete with toddler bait
Quinn got stung by a jellyfish and was very brave
Mike peed in a cup and Quinn got a urine bath
Another shark! No video (it was 5 feet and less amusing)
Another jellyfish sting! Poor Quinn. 
(I hate the ocean.)

But really, we had a fun time with our friends. It's no Hawaii, and sort of like a Coney Island beach, minus the glass in the sand but + the close-proximity of chemical plants (it all evens out?), but it's close and it's what we have, so that's okay. 

After a shark attack on Monday though, we're probably sticking to the chlorinated pool this week.

(I blame less-than-sharp footage on being at the beach with two non-swimming children, with sharks. Eek!)

Quinn really was a super trooper with all those jellyfish stings. I was impressed. I'm glad you guys came even if it was a crazy day. Hopefully we'll get you there again sometime. I'll give you some recovery time though. :)

Also, love the video!! I had no idea you were filming all day. So fun!!

Urine in a cup. Awesome.

Well this Vimeo was perfect. And that beach actually looks a lot better than I had envisioned. Is there such thing as shark repellent?
