Long Time, No Sea!

I'm Baaack!  It's been a while since I've written.  School ended in June and our family's been spending an aweful lot of time together.  Some days I love it, some days I hate it.   Depends on how much fighting is going on.

Many times I plan to blog, but never get to it.  However, I witnessed something at the beach today that I had to get off my, pardon the pun, chest.

Today my husband and I took our kids to the beach for the day.  We packed a lunch and spent a perfect summer day on the beach, kids playing in the sand and surf.

At the end of the day, while Dad and our oldest packed the truck to leave, I headed to the outdoor public shower with our daughter and the triplets to wash the sand off of them.  As the boys started showering (fully clothed), we all couldn't help but notice a man of about 60 holding the water on for his wife, not much younger.  She had her bathing suit top down and was washing her boobs for quite a bit of time for all to see.

I was horrified, stared her husband down, and said "this ISN'T the nude beach".   He stared at me like he had no idea what I was saying while she giggled.  One of the boys said, "What did I just see?"  I tried to nonchalantly herd the boys to a shower with an obstructed view while I told them to mind their business.  My poor daughter looked on as horrified as I was!

WTF?!  I'm not exactly a prude, but I don't walk around bare-breasted in front of my 8 year old boys and certainly don't want THAT memory to stick in their heads. 

Fortunately, by the time we got back to the truck, they seemed to have forgotten about it and were on to asking what was for dinner.  Thankfully, they worked up an appetite at the beach!
