Last day at the beach

Our whole family went down to the beach this morning during high tide.  The wind was strong and actual wavelets were washing ashore (it has been very calm and lake like up till today).  We waded up the shore a ways and then climbed up on one of the large "float islands" that was anchored not far from the beach house.  We had not seen anyone on them all week and decided they were fair game to enjoy on our last day.  Delaney and I stood up on them and had king of the mountain contests.  A family with three kids was playing nearby on a standing paddleboard.  I told Delaney she should go say hi (she's been dying for a girl friend her age all week since she's been surrounded by her boy cousins). She did and they played together for the next 2 hours until the tide went out too far to swim anymore.
