Took the fam to the beach several days ago. I am still in disbelief how the outside temperature can be well over a hundred; yet if you happen to find yourself lounging in a chair in the sand, sipping girly beverages watching ceaseless waves heading straight toward you, all is amazingly right with the world (even for this easily overheated pudgy white boy with Norwegian ancestry I'm guessing). It is also intriguing how surprisingly gratifying it is to simply sit & gaze for hours upon hours at the fruit of my loins (reader: "thanks for the visual" me: "no problem") playing in the sand, digging holes, filling the holes with ocean water, adding to their sea shell collection, laughing when waves catch them off balance, & creating small kingdoms out of mere sand, water, & buckets.
The structure you see in the picture was conceived & erected by my VERY soon to be ten year old daughter, Kristen. Today it's sand castles. Tomorrow, who knows. Cherish each moment & the journey as well. Indeed, they grow up entirely too fast.
