4th of July

Put on your sunscreen, grab your towel, and head on down to the beach for the 4th of July.  Everybody seems to love to go to the beach for the 4th of July.  Whether you loke to swim, fish, or just lay on th warm sand,  tere is something for everyone at the beach. 

While you're at the beach kick back and relax, maybe even build a sand castle or two.  All of thses are different things my family and I like to do at the beach, what kinds of things do you like to do?

Favorite Things

Everyone has their favorite things they like to do at the beach.  Some people like to go fish.  Some people like to swim in the water.  Some people like to just like on the beach or build sand castles in the sand.  Other people like ot play games on the beach or play with toys or floats in the water.  What do you like to do at the beach?

Seashells

Used to you could walk along the beach and find all kinds of seashells and sand dollars, but not anymore.  Now, it is getting harder and harder to find nice looking seashells.  I guess to many people have gotten them all or either they are just getting all broken up.

Another thought I was having today is about sunscreen.  They say nowthat a SPF of 30 or higher is best.  I had heard before that anything above a 15 did not work any better.  I cannot keep up with all of the studies and findings.  What do yo think?

Oil

It is a shame what all of the oil did to our beaches.  I just heard on the news where they have found even more oil washed up on the shore at Dauphin Island.  I don't think all of that oil will ever go away.  It seems as though it will always be a part of our lives. 

I love to go to the beach an see all of the fish and dolphins in the water, but not washed up on the shore.  I wish there was something that could be done to undo the effect of the oil and turn our water back to their narural beauty.

The Beach

    The beach is where I like to go  to have some fun and relax as well.  I especially love to go to Panama City Beach, Florida.  I love to go there because I lived there for 9 years and my best friend lives there.  When I go to Panama City Beach we go play miniature golf, go to the beach, and go to Pier Park.  It is so much fun at Pier Park.  They have all kinds of stores. places to eat, some rides, and even a small beach area of its own.   But, their small beach area does not come close to the real beach.  Panama City Beach truly has the best beaches.  The sand is the whitest and softest. The water is the bluest and the cleanest, and there is always something to do.  Do you like the beach?   If so, what do you like the best about it?
