sea spirit

Rode our bikes to the beach for some family fun last Sunday.  Thought I’d share…

Helping youngest launch…

Watching oldest launch the opposite way.  He’s getting so strong and independent.  Love that!

Proud Papa with his boys.

Telling him to keep going, even if the water slaps him around a little.

Me:  “don’t make him do it any more, he’s tired and his eyes are burning!”

Peter:  “he’ll be fine. Let’s go out farther this time.”

Meanwhile, the girls spent hours trying to catch the minnows.

It was a good day.

    We visited Rosemary Beach for a week in May and quickly fell in love. My daughter is two and had the time of her life….I can’t imagine how wonderful it must be living in your neck of the woods.

    What stunningly beautiful photos of your family…thank you for sharing. They make me want to leave work and go straight to the beach.
    Could you tell me what kind of camera you use? The clarity and colors are so crisp and clear.

    Isn’t that why kids need a Dad and a Mom? :) Dads help boys become men from an early age. I loved your conversation.

I'd love to hear from you!
