We had the opportunity to hit Manhattan Beach the other day and the kids loved it. The waves were high and the surfers were out.
At one point, a lifeguard walked over to me and asked if those were my kids. He said that he was worried that a surfer might lose his board and it might hit one of them because of how close they were.
Though the kids were unhappy with the request that they get a little closer to shore, I was grateful for the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep others out of danger. A truly selfless act.
