Little Beach Angel

We spent the last few days at the beach in North Carolina, and it was fantastic. Quiet….peaceful….relaxing…. Everything a vacation should be.

It took some coaxing to get Leah to play ON the beach, rather than cling to us as though her life depended on it. Once she experienced the fun that is sand, though, she was enamored and there was no keeping her from it.

She played with buckets of water. She flung sand with her purple shovel. She destroyed Daddy’s sand castles. She played chicken with the waves and chased the seagulls. She drank cup after cup of juice (and some sea water), and collected rocks and shells. She laughed at Daddy playing in the water, and watched other kids playing in the sand.

All in all, she had a pretty good time, I think.

We all did, and we’re so thankful to have had the opportunity to spend that time together as a family. Those kinds of memories won’t fade anytime soon.
