| Back from the beach, not such a good trip... We took off and went to Virginia Beach for the weekend and were having a great time until Saturday evening. We returned to our hotel room, walked out on the balcony just in time to see the Dive Rescue / Lifeguards Team pull a 17 y/o boy's body from the ocean, cover him with a sheet and put him in the back of an ambulance without any rescue efforts. Apparently the kid had been standing on the sandbar when a big wave knocked him off his feet and he panicked. According to the news, it took 45 minutes to find his body. The scary thing is just a few hours earlier, me, DH & DS6 (on a boogie board) were standing on that same sandbar in almost exactly the same location... I was so profoundly sad at seeing this that I could not re-enter the ocean... we got up this morning, let DS play in the hotel pool for a bit and then checked-out. Please keep this boys' family in your thoughts and prayers... such a tragic end to a young life. On a brighter note, I did come home with three new pets- Hermit Crabs. We've named them Sebastian, Steve and Willie. |

[img]/ubb/images/graemlins/fairy2.gif[/img] [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/fairy2.gif[/img] [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/fairy2.gif[/img] Pixie dust for all of you - how horrible.... On a related note, I was at a nearby beach in RI today and saw the rescue team head out twice to help families/children - it was pretty scary and made me stay pretty close to shore. Hope y'all are feeling better... |
