The one which demonstrates the downside of having children who do not fear water

These boys? Absolutely no fear of the big big waves. Or undertow. It's a little frightening for this mama bear who grew up with the gentle waves of the Gulf of Mexico.

I'm being brave, letting them run out as far as they want and get CREAMED by waves.

But believe me, I was right there for a reason.


Boogey board fail

Ha, I grew up with that kind of surf, and I was a nervous wreck while Michael was running into the waves and getting swept off his feet. I don't think moms are ever prepared for that.

You are a brave woman - I would be a nervous wreck :)

But gorgeous pic of Nate living it up - a very Mondo shot :)

I spent several weeks a summer when I was little on Cape Cod. I distinctly remember playing in the surf when a big storm was coming in (4+ foot waves) and getting repeatedly swept off my feet. But it didn't quell my enthusiasm for the water. Now of course I'm a wimp when it comes to the coldness of the water. But I still love the waves :-)

I so admire your willingness to stop back and watch let your boys be (in a safe way, of course). I have such a hard, hard time with that.
