Beach Boys!

Bridger wanted a sunset beach picnic on Saturday night. It rained. But we all went on Sunday night and it was Gates's first glimpse of the Gulf. He just stared and stared. When I asked, "Can you smell it?" I saw his tiny nostils flare as he tried to and he nooded. Then he pointed out to the choppy white caps as far as he could see and breathed dramatically, "Mamma!" He waited a while to join in but after watching Bridger dig in the sand and Sister Aimee searching for sea shells he decided to give it a try. Brian and Chari walked up from a little way up the beach to join us in time for the fun. We all made a mess with the ice cream from the Pier Dairy Queen. Thank you Lord! He's a beach baby like the rest of us!
