I love this picture of Geral standing at the edge of the water as the wave laps around her feet. The mood of the picture sums up what I like about spending time at the beach. I like the feeling of time suspended as the tide creeps in and out. I like how all other sounds are muted against the roar of the surf. I like collecting shells and rocks rolled smooth in the sand. I like noticing time passing only by the length and direction of shadows cast by the sun. I like the fascination of the changing shapes of the sand as the waves move it around.
There is just so much to like.

| Building a castle in the flood plain, just so they can watch the waves knock it down. |

| Sarah taking a walk in the waves. |

| Another favorite picture. Rachel loved the waves crashing around her. |
 |
| Steven was the boogie boarding master. |
 |
| William spent his time bobbing in the waves and catching sand crabs. |
 |
| Run Away! Geral's favorite game was to beat the wave back to shore. |

Lauren and Steven out in the water.
If you look carefully you can see the dorsal fin of a dolphin just past them. |

Looks like you guys had a great time.
I think I will like the beach again one day when I don't have little kids to constantly watch.
That was actually me (Michelle) not Andrew that posted the above comment.
You captured perfectly what I love about the beach, too.
I love Geral's (I think) pose and comment about posting her picture on your blog, so cute! You did sum up the magic of a great beach day. I miss it, but look forward to reconnecting with my old friend, the beach. NC sharks need not apply!
