Ohio Family Day at the Beach

Today was a hot day, so we took our Ohio family to the beach. Aunt Mary and Great Grandma Freddie had a good time playing with Tyler. Tyler liked when Aunt Mary chased him around on the beach. But a day of family fun turned almost into a tragedy. But we have 2 HERO's in our family that saved the day for us. Aunt Mary, Uncle Zach, Mommy and MeMa were out in the ocean hopping waves and having fun when the current/undertow took us out to far and had problems getting back to shore. Uncle Zach helped Mommy and MeMa, so he is our HERO. But Aunt Mary was the one in the real danger. She was taken pretty far out and out of our reach. She was yelling HELP but Uncle Zach had his hands full with Mommy and MeMa. We finally yelled loud enough when Daddy (Brent) heard us and dove into the water to rescue Aunt Mary. Just a minute or two before Daddy reached her a surfer heard her yelling and let her hang onto his surf board. The surfer and Daddy were paddling her toward shore when a beach lifeguard reached them. After they arrived on shore, the lifeguards checked her out and released her. We were all glad to be home where we were safe. Grandma Freddie and Papa were taking good care of Tyler. I think it will be a long time before any of us want to go in the ocean past our knees again.
