Sizzling on the beach in Scotland
The weather here has been amazing with temps as high as the 80's and plenty of sunshine. Since this isn't exactly the norm here, we've decided to take advantage by hitting the beach. Last Sunday after church we headed off to the wee town of Elie (North of Edinburgh) where they have a beautiful beach with real sand (not rocks). We spent our time there cooking hotdogs and pasta, Dave dug and sculpted a whale which the dogs thought was their personal place to relieve themselves (see picture below). We also played frisbie and Dave and Marc spent about a half an hour at least throwing a football as far as they could. My (Marc) arm is still sore. Perhaps that wasn't the smartest thing in the world for two guys on the wrong side of 40. The kids and Dave swam in the very cold water. Dave being a surfer from Cali is so jonesing for some waves he braved the icy waters to try and body surf 1 foot waves. I decided to watch from the shore while my feet were going numb in the water up to my ankles. I'm not sure Dave actually ever caught a wave, kind of hard to catch a 1 footer when you're 6'4" tall. At least he tried though eh.

Enjoy the rest of the pics.
