Summer vacation is finally here ~ and my big treat is having my grandchildren here with me for a week. Luckily they love the beach as much as I do, but we all hate the sun. So we have been spending our "evenings" at the beach. Storm conditions in the South Pacific have brought gently rolling waves that are not intimidating to Jonah. However the 14 in. fish swimming right near the shore line nipping at his feet are. Although we have lived here for over 33 years, this is the first time we have actually interacted with "classes" of normal-sized fish while playing in very shallow water. We called them "classes" of fish and not "schools" of fish because Scott remarked that the schools were further out in the water, and the ones near us belonged to just a small class out on a field trip.
