Hi everyone. I hope you are enjoying your summer. We start back to school in a little over 4-weeks. It sure is flying by.
Since we choose to cancel our Gulf Coast beach vacay this year, I wanted to remember our last trip that was filled with fun, sun, & memories. It greatly saddens me to think it might not be safe to bring my child back to the beach for many years. While I am not a sun goddess by any stretch (my auto immune issues prevent this), I love the sound and smell of the water.
I love watching my son discover and catch the many small creatures living in the sand and water.
I love watching his pride as he releases these small animals back to their watery home.
I love the laughter after a big wave has just swept him off his feet.
I love watching him win ALL the boogie board races against his dad.

Little toes in the sand--there's nothing sweeter. |

The wave sneaking up behind him caught him off guard and off of his feet. |

The boy can't keep a straight face for nothing - I love that about him! |

One of my favorite shots of the day! Just soaking it all in. |

Just seconds before the wave washed his hard work away. |

Bye-Bye beach, until...... |
I read that it takes 3 large bottles of Dawn to clean just one pelican--THREE!! I am going to find an organization I can donate some Dawn to!
Have you canceled your plans to visit the Gulf Coast beaches this summer? Where are you going instead? Do tell!
