Our Last Beach day

The day before we were to fly back here to the states, we decided to head down to the Gold Coast one last time to indulge ourselves in the gorgeous day and the gorgeous beach. The waves were perfect for Adam to surf and the kiddies were happy just hanging out on the sand looking for jellies and venturing out into part of the waves (they were kind of dumping on top so the kids didn't go out as far as they normally do). It was perfect!







And then I suppose I had a "foreigners" moment. Australians are always joking that it is the visitors to the country that always end up needing the lifesavers. This was my "international incident":

looks kinda lame right? I wished it was a really good story worth telling, Ha! I stubbed my toe at a terribly wrong angle on the bodyboard (tearing half of it out at the cuticle) and it ended up with me on the verge of fainting. Adam was out surfing and while I had the kids I knew I wasnt going to make it back to our beach spot without going out cold. I sat down, asked the girls to get the lifesavers (they were so brave in the moment!), and I stoppped a lady walking by. I was in the stage of seeing spots, going numb and my ears were ringing but that sweet lady kept Finn happy and waited right by my side until the lifesavers reached me. It was utterly embarrassing! I still have no idea why my body wanted to faint! Regardless, we all made it through and my toe is slowly healing. The lifesavers told me I needed to head over to the hospital and get it fixed but we went in the other direction and ate the most delicious "Grilld" hamburger ever. SOOOO much better than the hospital! It was a good choice :) And then to top it off we split a long finger donut that has been the best yet. Seriously good eats to top off a seriously embarrassing moment. Adam sure knows how to make a bad situation a good one for me! Thanks babe!
