Every single summer, I look forward to the time when my family and I can head down to the beach to spend a few days relaxing in the sand, playing in the ocean, and just having the time of our lives. And, of course, I'm not the only one. Tons of people make their way to beaches across all parts of the country during the warm months to get a little rest and relaxation.
In the below video, however, one family stumbled across something quite strange on the freshly dredged Frankfort, MI beach.
While walking across the sand, the family started to feel like they were sinking into it a bit more than usual. So what do you do when you feel like you might be walking on a strange, quicksand-like substance along Lake Michigan? You invite the rest of your family to do it with you, of course!
As you can see in the video, the entire family (and the family dog) lines up on the sand, near the water, and starts walking in place. As soon as their feet start to move, you can see their ankles begin to sink into the sand. The longer it goes on, the farther down they sink until almost the entire family is in the sand up to their stomachs.
Now, keep in mind that this is not really quicksand and they really weren't in any real danger (though I don't recommend you try this at home), but the sinking that occurs is likely a result of the beach being recently dredged.
It's only 37 seconds long, but it's a funny video and one that shows one of the strange side effects of what can happen after dredging a body of water.
Pretty neat, right? Well, at least the family dog was smart enough to stay on dry land!
