In the summer, we live in the water around here. Our nonverbal, seven year old treasure is at peace in the water. Thankfully, our entire family enjoys it so much too. This summer our beloved beach announced it would be closed this year because they had drained it last fall, and we just didn't receive enough precipitation to get the water level back up where it needed to be. This was devastating news until we found another beach 30 minutes in another direction. We LOVE, LOVE this beach, and will likely keep coming here even when Palo reopens. It has never been crowded, and has a beautiful backdrop surrounding it. Truly our days spent on these shores have been some of the most memorable to the summer. Last Saturday, the house was falling down around us as it was in need of a good cleaning, but we packed up and headed to the beach anyway. We spent a wonderful five hours swimming, relaxing, and just enjoying our time. Oh that these summer days could last forever...
This babe is swimming all over in the deepest of water with a life jacket on.
Smiles abound whenever we even mention the beach!
Our special babe is truly talented in that she can store water in her cupped hands, and then squirt it when you least expect it. She has impeccable aim, and amazes those around her with her ability to shoot.
This littlest babe has turned into quite the beach bum too.
She doesn't even leave the water to eat her lunch. As I watch her full of smiles, I can't help, but marvel at God's goodness to relocate us to this area with five..yes FIVE..beautiful beaches within driving distance. This baby needs her some beach time, and she gets here.
Digging for hours is a JOY!
Baby toes in the sand.
More digging for these two brings smiles their faces.
Counting the days until we are here again!
