School's nearly out and we are heading to Galveston. The little girl in me is so excited about this kick-off to summer 'shebang.' {
clap, clap} We're going to walk on The Strand, visit the ice cream parlor {
yummy} and peruse all the quaint little shops. Then we'll go to the alluring beach and lay in the sand. We'll collect seashells and build sand castles. {
jumping up and down} We'll swim in the water and dive in the waves. I can't wait to spend the next day splashing and sliding at Schlitterbahn. And the seafood... yummy! We'll have a smorgasbord at our fingertips. {
smacking lips}
But the grown up in me is quite apprehensive right about now. {
hands on hips}Today was the hottest June 2 in history. Ever. A 102 scorcher! How hot will it be in Galveston? It's only 90 miles from where we live, so I'm sure it will be sizzling there, too. And Katie. {
shaking head} She got a bad sunburn last weekend when she went to the beach with a friend. Should she even be out in the sun? {
pacing} Oh, and there's the shark, too. Did you hear about that? {
wide eyes} Last weekend some college students were swimming near Galveston and a girl was bitten by a bull shark. {
shuttering} Oh, and there's the jellyfish outbreak, too. {
sigh} Katie's friend broke his front teeth at Schlitterbahn two weeks ago... ARGHH!
I don't think I'll be a grown-up this summer. I just want to have fun with my kids. I know God will protect us. {smile}
