four leaf clover

From the beach, I saw them,
laughing, playing, splashing and acting overall quite silly.
Five adolescents lined up along the tiny ocean break,
hoping to catch some sun, some fun, and play.

From the beach, these five brought a smile to my face.
Their playfulness was not threatening and even though I had much to
learn about surfing,

I paddled out, and hoped their silliness was contagious.

As I made my way across the stones,
and paddled towards the group,
I noticed something I had not seen,

As the 4th of July quickly approaches, families with little children are on the lookout for ways to enjoy the fireworks, and 4th festivities, but at the same time keep their children safe.

With so many different types of celebrations to ring in the new year, I was wondering what everyone is doing? We’ll be at home relaxing, watching movies and enjoying a quiet, peaceful night. I can’t think of a better way to ring in 2009!

Is anyone going out? To a big bash? or do most people stay in? I think most people stay in where it’s safe and quiet, but maybe that’s just me…..

I hope no matter what festivities you participate in you all have a safe, wonderful night and a happy, prosperous new year!
