Get Cool Splash!

Autumn has officially started on Friday (23rd Sept). Two days ago.The summer heat hasn't over yet but chilly weather just around the corner. Autumn (fall) is the signal of transitioning from summer into winter. Currently we have rainy days. We will be packing our summer clothes up and getting ready for colder days soon.  

We walked Babe to the beach while warmer days still left.

What at end of summer... Enjoy it while we can. How did I sometimes bitchy about hot in the summer and now I feel how grateful the heat and sunshine were. Human nature, you feel missing when it's gone.

The waves, the water temperature and the wind were so splendid on that day. 

 Robert pulled him into the water. The waves were coming and splashed against him. 

Yeay! He got salt water bath. That's what he need! He gets regular bath once in every 2 weeks but this salt water bath will reduce itchiness on his skin.

He used to love the ocean few years ago and chasing the waves was part of his activity at the beach but now he is kind of lazy. Only the birds caught his attention. Three of us  really had a great day at the end of summer.

A group of wild deers around the neighbourhood during summer

Babe got a new toy - Rubber bone  ( same type as previous one but different color)

Robert went surfing on labour day. Labour day is an official holiday in the USA and it's celebrated on the first Monday of September.

Strong waves and high tide in the afternoon and it swept away the dried grass on the beach. I also didn't miss chance to surf with my boogie board on that day.

Have a great weekend!

Top 10 lists to hit the beach

Ready for summer season? Speaking of summer which is 3 months duration (Jun-July-Aug), most Americans especially families have planned on vacation. Definitely the top destination is to spend time at the beach to enjoy the sunshine. Soaking up under the sun for hours on the beach with lots of activities are wonderful. Sometimes you miss the important items that you should have at the beach. Basically the list below is the top 10 must-have stuff before you leave home:

1. Umbrella - Stay in the shade while you are chilling on the beach

2. Beach chair - They are foldable and backpack. Offering you comfort.

3. UV sunblock - Protect your skin from UV sunrays. SPF 30/40/50 is required

4. Cooler/Icebox - Drinks stay cold for hours with icepack. Bring snack too.

5. Beach towel - It will be your friend when you are wet after swimming

Activities? You need those beach gears

6. Shovel set - You can build sand castle and dig the sand

7. Frisbee disc - It is fun when you catching/throwing the disc with barefoot. 

8. Snorkel and mask - Help you see pretty fish and corals under the water.

9. Swim fin - Rubber. Great for surfing,snorkelling and underwater diving.

10.Body board/Surfboard - You would love riding the waves.

I bet you wear sunglasses everywhere when you go out so you shouldn't worry about it. Let's rock the beach.

The picture below was taken in summer last year. We built a big sand-turtle.

The heat of summer

The weather was cloudy since I got up this morning. I was so excited today because we planned going to the beach at 10 am but Robert had cancelled it when he referred to the weather forecast on the internet that showed raining will be at noon. I have a little bit frustrated because the rain started at 5 pm. I thought we could have time if we did not bother the forecast.

I haven't been to the beach yet since I have been here a month ago. The weather was so hot for weeks that made me to turn off to the beach. I rather stay in the house than get sunburn on my skin. Staying out of the sun preferably in the afternoon time and went out in the evening to play basketball at the Western Park or went to the store.

 

I know there were a lot of things to do at the beach. I had a lot of fun in the last summer especially when I caught some waves and surfed with boogieboard. It was awesome! Surfing, swimming, sand building and watching pretty waves on the beach is what makes my day to the Emerald Isle beach so memorable.
 

I also got a new Rusty sexy bathing suit, an Oakley boardshort and a new Reef pink flip flop from Robert. Thank you baby for choosing the best stuff for me. All those thing were wonderful gift and motivated me go to the beach and I am excited to wear them soon and looking forward to ride some fierce waves:P
