Pre-Holiday Beach Fun

In November, before we got all busy with the Christmas holiday season, we went to the beach with some friends and thought about how nice it is to live in the Tropical South Florida, where we can enjoy the outdoors weather all year round.
Although we didn't actually kite-board, it was fun to watch some other guy do it all the way down the shoreline and clear outta sight.
And even though the beach was pretty crowded elsewhere, we found a nice "secluded" spot where few others had ventured.  In the picture above you can see Mike, Craig, Belle, Sarah, Audrey, with Linda and Myra in back.
Belle is always a good sport and willing subject for the camera.  She spent time in the water but got moved around pretty good by the strong winds and relatively high waves.
The "boys" played some catch with Craig's football -- until it landed in the ocean and got all wet and sandy.
Body-surfing is such a cool idea, and fun to watch when it works.  It is also next to impossible to make it happen, apparently, or we are all just inept.  Craig is by far the best swimmer in our group and even he couldn't really catch-a-wave.
It was great fun to see how wild Craig looked when we readied to leave.  He is normally quite debonair in appearance.
