We had been on the beach for a while when Deb decided to go back inside but I asked her to wade in the shallow water while I took her picture. Everything went well for a few steps and I snapped her picture. Then suddenly Deb disappeared from my sight, and I found her lying in the water.
After helping Deb sit up in the water I snapped a couple pictures then lay my phone on dry sand so I could help her up. The task wasn't as easy as we expected.
Facing Deb, I put my hands under her arms and my knees against hers and pulled. She pushed with her legs as I pulled and Deb would get part of the way out of the water then start laughing. Of course she went limp when she laughed and I dropped her back into the water.
Several times we would almost get Deb to her feet then I dropped her back into the water when we started laughing.
Finally after several attempts it looked like we would make it. Deb was pushing with her legs as I pulled but we didn't expect it to work, so we over-compensated and we both tumbled into the water.
After Deb and I sat and laughed a bit we started trying again. Finally a couple women on the beach came over and helped us get Deb up and to her chair.
We sat and rested a few minutes before coming back inside to get into dry clothes. It wasn't the wade in the ocean we expected, but it was enjoyable....
