By  the time we arrived at the beach all 3 kids were crying.  Not just whimpering, howling. They'd been that way for at least an hour. Traffic had hijacked our plans and the drive to the bay had ruined the momentum of Liam's birthday. This, coming here, was a mistake.

But when we got to the uninhabited beach the sun was yellow, the air was warm and slightly breezy.  The waves were too inviting. 

As soon as we dipped our feet into the sand, nerves dissipated and the world grew quiet.  In fact, the experience seemed like a treasure- something that someone would and perhaps should have to drive for hours to deserve.

I guess the best things in life are hard to come by.

Dani! You are getting so good with your camera :) You need to send me a list of photography tricks and tips you've learned along the way.
I loved catching up on all the birthday posts. Those three are too cute for words. Love and miss you guys!

The bay here reminds us a lot of lake Michigan. You can be convinced that it's the ocean.
