Mary & I went to the beach today and just enjoyed watching kids. There is something special that happens to kids when they encounter the ocean. You can just see their imaginations, their inhibitions, their fears, their boldness, their dependancies and their sense of adventure kick in. Some kids stay close to their parents, some just dive in and some want nothing to do with it. Some watch the older sibling and want to be like them but they just can't seem to find the courage. We wonder as we watch; what will they be like when they grow up? I think you can tell a lot about a kid's personality by watching how they relate to the ocean. It's especially nice when your own kids are grown, because then you don't have to worry, you just get to watch, and it's fun.

Gettin that last bit of beach time before heading to the Bluegrass, huh?
Yep - we went to Sullivans Island after church -perfect day. We'll be able to sit on KY River's Beach after the move. We couldn't keep you out of the water when you were a small kid. Lyndsey would do her best to keep up with you and you two turned out great!
