Beach days :: divine

The best part of the beach this day was holding Annabelle's hands while the small waves came crashing onto the sand and rolled up around our ankles. She was SO excited with each wave, but it wasn't until later when she was telling Grama about it why she loved it so much. She explained, in her own terms, that she was skating on the water really fast forward and backward over and over again... The waves rushing by in either direction really made her feel like SHE was moving, instead of the wave! Each little experience was relatively quick enough to give her a thrill and then be done for a minute until the next wave. I swear the beach is made for kids, isn't it?

It was such a wonderful afternoon, seeing old friends, feeling the warm sun, playing, getting sandy and wet, relaxing, chatting, etc.

I love her innocence and perspective. I live for times like these.
