At one point cousin Gabe became distraught when he saw his parents, Naomi & Tim, walking down the beach without him. He ran to catch up, but being unable to he returned to Mom and me, very upset. In effort to distract him with something different and fun, we got him to start burying me in the sand. At first he wasn't very excited, but then became more enthusiastic and decided he wanted to be buried too. Before we knew it, all the rest of the kids (except Tianna, who was napping) wanted to be buried in the sand too.
