It almost feels unreal!

It started out as a normal day on the beach...

Toka playing with a fish his dad had caught

Curren and Noah playing in the water

Noah has become really brave in the water

An there he goes under!

... until we saw a group of people watching something in the water, moving along the shore...

We joined the group of people and realized that it was a shark that they were watching, and it was pretty big! And very close to the shore, about 10-15feet.

You can see the fin sticking out of the water

Suddenly our friend Brad decided that he was going to catch the swimming shark so that the kids could see it close up. Crazy!!??

Brad's great accomplishment!!!

 When getting a closer to the shark we saw that it had a hook stuck in its mouth. Brad managed to get it out while we were all watching bewilderedly.

 BRAD AND THE SHARK

And when all the excitement was over, we all went back to swimming and playing as if nothing had happened... It almost felt as it had never happened... Not sure if that makes us crazy but the shark did not have a very scary or aggressive appearance, even though, I still don't want to meet one while swimming!!!
