Beach Buddies

Lauren just sent me this picture from our trip to the beach a few weeks ago. It was a great day! After driving for an hour or so to get to the beach, we set everything up, the kids ran down to the water, and it started POURING. I'm not talking little raindrops--it was a torrential downpour. The kids and dads in the water thought it was great and Lauren and I were alternating between crying and laughing, while trying to keep her 6 month old baby under the umbrella(regular umbrella, not beach umbrella, by the way). There was an actual river draining down to the sea right where we set up camp. Ten minutes later it totally stopped and we had a wonderful day, with the beach to ourselves.
