SHARK WEEK

Well it looks like shark week has come to an end. With great footage on the discovery channel, every time we went out into the water we where very cautious of the water surroundings. Inside we were hoping to see a shark or an attack. Saturday the last day of the week we went to Sunset beach to just relax. Well I got called out of the water by Jake because he thought he saw something swimming in the water just 5-6 feet behind me. I got out of the water and he pointed out to me that there was a dark shadow swimming around right there on the shallows of the shore. So we grab our snorkels and jumped in to see what it was.....
You guessed it, the dark shadow was a 5-6 foot black tip reef shark! Talk about a great way to end shark week by being able to see a shark face to face (almost about 3 feet away).
We kinda were joking with jake telling him that he should have not waved me in but rather should have let nature take its course!
That would have been a sweet scare and an even better story. I could have even been on next years shark week! maybe next year.
This is a true story, and yes once everyone noticed us pointing out that there was a shark in the water everyone was right at the edge of the water watching and screaming to the people in the water to get out. lame!

you're an idiot, and where was your underwater camera??

We had our baby by the way, he is really cute and I am obsessed with him.

It is sad you did not get the chance to take some pics. You were lucky that you could get such a nice end to shark week.
