I love going to the beach.  It is one of the most relaxing places for me.  I get to just sit there and take in the sun.  When my family goes together my mom is a bit of a safety freak.  She makes sure to bring plenty of uv protection.  She also cautions us on the under toe taking us out to see and the jelly fish and sharks and crabs and a thousand other things she tell us.  My sister listens better than I do.  When we were little Mom got us our own infant swimwear that was special designed to block uv rays and guard against rashes.  It also had that huge built in inner tube  in it and she slapped water wings on us.  Mom is still very protective of us but now that I live on my own she has gotten alot better.  God bless her and her great intentions of just wanting the best for us.  I know I will probably be just as protective of my kids.
