Beach baby ~
I love the beach. The first day we hit the sand at Santa Rosa Island there was a storm across the water. We let the kids play in the sand and I watched the lightning over the waves. We were close enough to see the rain, and far enough away to see the full roll of the clouds over the waves. Hot sand, salt, the pounding rhythm of the sea ~ it's hypnotic. I can understand how it is that a person could choose to walk into the surf and meet eternity in the embrace of the ocean.
So far no one is burned, thanks to Fugitive's constant vigilance and her trigger spray sunscreen bottle. I'll be lucky to come home any less pasty white than I arrived.
Tucker especially loves the beach. We have to keep an especially close eye on him because he has no fear, no caution. He dives in and trusts the waves to carry him to wherever ~ I've lost count of how many times I've had to chase him down the beach and drag him back up to where the rest of us are. After he came out of the waves the other day he said, "Momi, taste me!" I declined. But asked him what he tasted like ~ "Mom, I taste just like chicken!" He's my baby!
Have a great weekend.

I read a good Iris Johansen book in which an alien boy took on the identity of a child who had been killed and he said cutie things like that all the time. I forget the name of the book...
