The water is really warming up so Gavin (Jalen's second cousin) and Bird took full advantage at the Isle of Palms pier.

The last time these two got together their playtime was cut short with Jalen's "bonzai" rock jump which landed us in the emergency room for stitches.  Today the injuries were much less severe.  A full-speed face-first nose-plant yielded only a bloody nose and some other minor sand burns.

Trying to keep pace with the older kids has some inherent health risks but the beach is a powerful painkiller. Jalen shook it off really fast and was back at it in no time.
