July 4th beach party

Need I really say more? But I will. haha.

Kathy’s co-workers were having a beach party in Clearwater on almost a private beach. The main access was by boat, but we found path by a restaurant to sneak onto the beach. Quite a few boats beached for this party along with VB in the water, floatation devices to relax on and lots of beer and alcohol. We arrived by 1p and left about 1015p.

Rob suffered an injury during VB. He was making a heroic dive for the ball - which he missed - but after landing in the 12 inches of water, he scraped bottom. What started out as a little cut and blood turned into a bruised area the size of a softball, if not larger. This may be the first time I played VB since the good ole days of Friday night VB at the lodge. BTW, Darren if you are reading this, both Ma and Rob were playing VB and both were not on the injury list.

Kathy was toasted both by the sun and alcohol. No more SPF 15 for Kathy! Rob and I grilled a little and got a game of horseshoes in. Otherwise most of the time, we all spent it in the ocean drinking. What was nice was that if you had to go pee, you were always in the bathroom. lol. Ma & Rob had to leave around 7p because they had to let the dog out (now we know who did), otherwise they would have stayed.

Our location provided us a great view overlooking the mile long water channel with the Fireworks show off of Coachman Park in the background. Everybody and their mother was there for the show. It took us 1h 5m to get home but we estimated that it took other people 60-90 minutes just to get off the island. It was bad.

Overall, great afternoon and evening. We all had a blast and were pretty wiped out.
