Ocean Trip 2012


The tall sea grass gracefully leans its head as the ocean breeze blows steadily by.  Sprays of cool, misty salt water periodically take flight -- here, at the ocean, is where you'll find many family memories made.

My in-laws rented a great beach house on the ocean for the family to call "base" for our ocean and beach adventures.

It's hard to believe that in our ocean-loving family, our little prince has never experienced it before!  I regret not video taping his first beach walk as his little, barefoot toes dug into the sand -- squeals filled with delight, intrigue, wonder and pure joy!




Trying to Make Sense of the Wet Sand




Holding Back from a Breaking Wave (I LOVE his little feet are next to mine!)


First Dip in the Ocean (In Less-Than-Warm Water, I might add), Attempted in His "Birthday Suit"




Peace, Dudes!  (Gotta Love Grandpa J's Garage Sale Tie-Dyed Vest!!) 




Warming Up in the Hot Tub with Cousins and Aunt L


Hide and Seek with Cousins in the Sand Dunes


Even JD Joined In on the Adventure


A wind storm blew in and made for an even bigger adventure!  (Note that the "mistiness" of the picture is not fog but rather abundant amounts of blowing sand!)
