Ridie or Breaker?

The Hughes/Garrett clan arrived safely at Cherry Grove Beach yesterday. We had a lot of rain, wind, and rainbows yesterday (where's my camera when I need it?), but today has been a typical, beautiful beach day. We've been on the beach all day and all got more sun than we should have for the first day of vacation. We love to play in the water - all of us. Even Nana was out riding the waves today. So, the question is -are ridie waves or breaker waves the best?

The grown-ups here like the "ridie" waves the best and the kids like the "breaker" waves. Makes sense - ridie waves are smooth and rounded on top. Breaker waves smack you in the face if you don't dive under them. I had much rather glide across them.Here are some first day pictures.Cammie

Me and my Buddies! We love to ride those boogie boards!

Thomas, Nana, Amy, and Greg take a break from the sun!Once a lifeguard, always a lifeguard. Nah, I wouldn't take on that responsibility at the beach. I'll leave that to Mr. Nigerian man. I asked him if I could climb up in his chair. He said, "sure, just hurry." I hope he didn't get fired! He wasn't supposed to let me do that!
