Heaven on Earth

There is no where the princess would rather be than the beach. Her great love is playing in the waves. And not just the baby waves that break on her knees, but the waves that flip her over and suck her underneath. She spends HOURS in the waves at a time. If it were up to her we would do NOTHING else at the beach beside play in the waves.

This year we stepped back and let her tackle the waves by herself. I was always within a few feet, but there was no hand holding or help this year. There were a few occasions when she was sucked down and I would reach in and set her back on her feet. She would wipe off her face and go right back at it. She was all over the place, but every once in awhile she would come right up beside me and say "Mom, I just want to stand here because I feel safe when I'm right next to you." Talk about making Mom feel good!

 

 

This was the face of the weekend. Pure joy and excitement.
