This last week we had a blast at the beach. Garrett and I found a local beach to dig our toes into the sand and let the ocean wash over our feet.

Growing up in the mid-west we were still able to soak up the beaches around Lake Michigan so I never felt like we missed out but being at the ocean is something special!

 

 

Even though going to the beach as a mom is different because you aren’t able to look away from your child long, I still found two minutes to kick my legs back to relax!
Those two minutes were glorious!  I knew we probably wouldn’t be able to stay for a long time but we actually were there for awhile.  We had a wonderful time together.

 

We didn’t pack a full lunch because I figured it would be pretty sandy with a toddler but he did enjoy some sandy oranges. I laughed with a friend over facebook how sometimes you really have to let them figure it out and let go.  A little bit of sand doesn’t hurt.

After all that time in the sun and water he was exhausted and took a very long nap!

 

Until next time!
