Adventures
Our two weeks at the shore were full of adventures for the babe. When you are used to the plains and emptiness of the west, seeing the ocean was amazing for her. 
Feeling the sand squidging between her toes and the freezing ocean water run over her little feet… 
the ocean breeze blowing through her hair and for as far as she can see, nothing but water. 
Running along the beach…. 
and exploring on her own (with Daddy a few paces behind her). 
Helping build sand castles… 
finding new treasures, and discovering that sand doesn’t taste that great. 
Of course, keeping up with the big kids is no easy task for such little legs, 
but what better way to rest, than taking a long nap on our picnic blanket with the sound of the water in your ears and the ocean air in your lungs. Every couple of days she still says “ocean…back”. We will definitely be making this trip every year.
