When pilfering through my vacation pictures one very common theme on this trip was playing in the sand. What I don't have a picture of is the sand creation I did one night after a few dozen cocktails. It was quite obscene and remnants were still visible (if you squinted) the next morning. I'm sure the daytime visitors were shaking their heads in disgust at the stupidity of unruly teenagers left roaming the beaches at night. So I acted all offended too. Damn drunken teenagers.
Nighttime walks along the beach were mandatory. Piranha, Booty and I fell in love with the ocean at night on our Cancun trip so we flock to the beach after sunset every chance we get. One night after the kids were down for the night (we have old teenagers supervising the scene so pipe down) the girls went out into the water. The guys stood on shore holding cameras and all non-water friendly items (and somehow losing Piranha's camera). They kept joking about us being shark bait and then Ripcord announced that she might be even more baitlike as she started that morning. I swear we ran out of that water cartoon style!
The kids were taken with all of the crabs that came crawling out of the water at night.
There was the obligatory sand castle
But then they got creative with what my daughter called an ALMAGATOR
And then there was a sand turtle
I was surprised to see my son, Keith, sit still as the girls heaped sand on top of him and give him pointy mermaid boobies
