Beach Notes...

We took some beach time while visiting our previous home turf and introduced the twins to the sand and surf.  True to form, they had completely different reactions:  7 of 8 loved the sand and hated the water, while 8 of 8 made a full charge crawl for the surf and laughed as he took a wave in the face. 

I had planned on getting out my new big camera (I'll post about that soon)--but the salt mist was so heavy on Saturday that I chickened out and just used the point and shoot.  I had also planned on getting many more shots of the other kids--but then it rained all day Sunday, so we headed back for the hills. 

It feels so great to have sand all in my floorboards again and to have the scent of the blossoming sea grass back in my auditory memory.  Oh~ how we love our island....

  5. Oh! I grew up on an island as well, so I know what it's like to miss the sand and sea smell! I miss it all the time in land locked Hot-lanta. Lovely photos.

  6. Great pictures. I don't like taking my good camera to the beach either. I am worried about the sand on the lens. Love the swim shirts btw!

  8. Hi,

    This is my first time here. I came over from Problem Solvin Mom, I'm there often.

    Sorry you didn't get a chance to use your camera. What kind do you have? I'm thinking of getting a new camera for an upcoming birthday (don't ask how old I am) but am clueless in choosing a good one.
