near death experience....

Ok so to say the least we are all just grateful to be alive right now. You'de think the closet we came to dying was sky diving but nope! One of our favorite beaches is called Sandy's Beach. We love this beach because the waves are HUGE and so it's always an exciting time. On Thursday we went to take Cami's little sister Carly to the airport and we stopped at Sandy's on the way there. The waves were so big they wouldn't even let us get in the water! A little past Sandy's is a cliff where you can go stand and the waves are so powerful they splash against the rock and it makes a cool picture because you can stand on the rock and the wave will splash behind you. That day the waves were so big they were actually coming onto the rock. I guess it comes down to the fact they we are just really, really, really naive because looking back on it, we don't know what made us think we could stand there and not get taken out by those waves. But we seem to think we are indestructable and that we would be fine. So we go to pose for our picture and as you can see above, a monstrous wave came and completely took us all out. It swept us to the very edge of the cliff and if we weren't clinging on for our dear lives, we wouldn't be alive to tell the story. We were able to pull ourselves back up before the next wave came and the battle wounds were pretty intense. We were bleeding so much it just looked like red paint. This lady came down to help us and told us people die there every year. She said if were to have fallen off the edge we would have drowned for sure because the waves are so powerful they just keep splashing you up against the rock. We know you're all thinking it will be a miracle if we make it home in one piece!
