      "It's just shock, you'll get used to it. It's so cold cause you went too far in too fast." Nathan said in between laughs. "Oh shut up." Gabriel said, hitting Nathan on the shoulder. This area was more packed, probably because there were no rocks past here.

  They walked a little farther, and the water was now about up to Nathans belly button, and Gabriel was a little shorter than him, so it was a bit higher for him.

    "Oh, I found a warm spot!" Gabriel said, and scooted a little to his left. "Oh, nope, now it's freezing." He said, and quickly moved away. Nathn chuckled and they kept walking. Gabriel kept complaining about how cold it was, and once they got to about their necks they decided they word go back.

     Gabriel saw his mom and brother a little more in the shallow waters, but closer to the shop than their area. They slowly made their way back to the shore. Once they got to the shallow waters they sat back down by the coastline.

    "Oh, look, there are shells over here!" Gabriel said, and picked something up. It looked like a snail shell and there were a few of them in the sand when you gave a closer look.

    He showed it to Nathan. It was a light blue color, kind of faded into white in the middle, which must have been how it caught Gabriel's eye. It was like a snails shell.

   They kept searching for more, and afterwards they put them on a small baggie they brought for the sandwiches and went to swim some more.

    Their mother called them over when they were swimming in the middle of a crowd and they has trouble getting back, because they couldn't touch the bottom of the ocean.

     They got to where Nathan could touch the floor and he helped Gabriel to the shore. Once they got there they sat on the blanket, where their mother had already made the sandwiches for them.

    "Did you boys have fun so far?" She asked them. They both had sand all over them, but they nodded and ate their food.

    Their mother went back out into the water with Damian when she finished her food. The boys decided they were done swimming for the day and went to the showers.

   They rinsed them selves off to get the sand off of them and walked back to the blanket. They covered themselves with a towel and sat on the blanket, they decided to just talk until Damian had enough fun and they could go home.

     They talked for a bit, and when they were dried off Gabriel put the sweater back on as it was getting a bit chilly. They talked for a while longer when the sun started to set, and there was a beautiful sunset over the line where the sea and sky meet.

      Gabriel took out his phone. "Want to take a selfie in front of the sunset?" He asked, and waved him phone in the air at Nathan. "What's a selfie?" Nathan asked.

    Gabriel explained what a selfie was to Nathan, and they took a fast picture before Gabriel's mother came over and said it was time to go before it got dark. They packed up while their mother and Damian went to the showers, and they packed everything into the car and got seatbelted in.

   They sat there for a second watching the sunset, and Damian fell asleep before the car even moved. Gabriel plugged in his headphones. "Do you have music where you guys are from?" Gabriel asked. "Just the old fashioned kind on the radio." Nathan responded.

    Gabriel put one of the earbuds into his own war and one into Nathan's and turned on his favorite song. He turned it on a playlist and after a few songs be began to feel tired.

    He put his head on Nathan's shoulder without realizing and fell asleep rather quickly. Nathan didn't say anything, and after a few minutes he slumped his head on Gabriel's and fell asleep as well.
