The Beach Beckons ...

Tuesday evening after dinner, the entire group loaded up the vans and headed south to Waveland Beach, along the Gulf Coast. We got there just as the sky was turning rosy with early sunset, and watched the whole show. Meantime, the waves beckoned and the water was soon filled with laughing, splashing kids. Others sat on the jetty, journals in hand, and watched the show. We squelched sand between our toes, relishing its coolness. As dusk fell, the heroic Bob returned from a Walmart trek, armed with popsicles which disappeared beneath the ravening hordes. We returned to Camp Coastal salt-sticky and contented.
