What we saw on vacation

yep, we saw waterspouts again! i've been going to that cottage my WHOLE LIFE and never saw one. bean has only been there twice and has seen them both times. she is going to think that there are always waterspouts at the beach!! sadly daddy and papa were playing golf and nana was taking g.g. to the doctor so they all missed seeing them.
this year there were 4 waterspouts. there was two then they dissipated. then another popped up and then a fourth. the second set were much bigger, closer, and more impressive.
(the top picture is a close up of the spout on the left.)

by the way, i later found out that the one on the right actually hit land. it ripped out a tree at a park before it broke apart. wow!

can you believe that storm blew through and not a single drop of rain fell. not one. just a little wind where we were sitting on the beach. look how dark that sky was. spooky looking even. can you believe it was 11:30am??

i promise more from our beach vacation later this week!! :)
