I dug my toes into the sand, the pink of my toenails glinting through the miniscule grains. Brushing off my towel, I lay back and shielded my eyes with the sunglasses sitting atop my head. Closing my eyes, I listened to the gentle crashing of the waves, echoing in my ears. The sun warmed my skin and made me sleepy. I yawned and closed my eyes, listening to my mom and aunt chat a few feet away from me in beach chairs that were exactly the same color of the ocean stretched out in front of me.
Half an hour later, I was caught up in an intense splashing war with my younger brother. He was just beginning to retreat when my dad called us in for dinner. I ran to the shore as fast as the water would allow and grabbed my towel, shaking the white sand off before wrapping it around me and racing my brother to the hotel.
