Respectfully snipped
I mean this in the absolute most respectful way, TXLady, judging by your name, I assume you're in Texas. In New England, it's not uncommon to go to the beach on a cool day if it's sunny. I can remember playing on the beach in jeans and a windbreaker as a child. Our definition of "beach day" is cooler than those in the south, especially in the spring and fall.
On another note, if she did get hit by a wave, the water this time of year would be so cold it may have literally sucked the air right out of her, leaving her unable to scream, so the roar of the ocean would have been moot.

Yes... but I wouldn't be leaving two children that young at all to retrieve a ball, especially not that close to the water. Heck, I wouldn't be on the beach with 2 of them in less than 80 degree weather to start with, but I'm not her. Young moms make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes have a tragic ending. Like the little boy down south of me a few weeks ago who went missing and ended up drowning in a pond, because Mom fell asleep and wasn't watching him. She got plenty of blame, IIRC.
