We got chased off of the beach by a pretty powerful thunderstorm this afternoon. We were sitting under some umbrellas that my family rented from the beach service when two of the service's employees came over and told us that they had to take the umbrellas down due to an impending storm. He wasn't kidding. We looked behind us, and the sky was really black so we packed it up and hoofed it the block and a half back to the house. As soon as we walked into the garage, the sky started to fall.
We had a wonderful time on the beach and wish that we had been able to stay for a little while longer. There was a great breeze, and the umbrellas provided plenty of shade. Henry asked for me to dig a big hole for him in the sand that provided a lot of entertainment, and there were tidal pools that he could roll around in to his heart's content. Mike took Henry out into the ocean for a few minutes, but they did not go out very deep at all. A child was bitten by a shark a few miles away from Kiawah last week so I was not very interested in Henry and Mike spending a lot of time in the ocean.
It was a really fun day, and we're headed back out there tomorrow morning. Hopefully the storm clouds will stay away!
