I love the beach!! Growing up in Cali has made it hard to live other places. Larry and I loved Thousand Oaks. We even hope to find some place like it in Texas. But being gone from our home town for so long (almost 15 years) I really long for the summer days spent at the beach. So being able to take my kids there and exposing them to all of the joys of the sand and sea was wonderful!!!
I even let Ben put sand in his mouth. Hey if he didn't like it he would spit it out, RIGHT!
The girls loved the warm Gulf water. They weren't intimidated at all. They wanted to walk as far out as possible and only came out for occasional rests. And of course we had to build sand castles, dig holes and find sea shells. I only wish we could have been there longer....maybe some day!! =)
