These pictures all speak very well for themselves and tell the story of how our day went. Lots of exploring and new experiences for the Gunn kids as we do not have the advantage of salt water here in the midwest!
Just the smell of it, the site of kelp, the water ebbing and flowing brought back wonderful childhood memories and I have no doubt that if I still lived in the NW you'd find us at the shore.
The picture of Matthew staring out into the distance is just perfect for capturing "him". I kid you not, he stood there for roughly 30min. watching the water come up to his boots and then go back. The girls were busy turning over rocks and looking for crabs. Matthew wanted to watch. I finally decided to sit and watch him a moment realizing he was having a lot of fun just simply standing. It was a pleasure to witness.
All those little kids in a row are cousins. Matthew is the oldest at 7yrs. and then they all stairstep down from there. One every year. The youngest is two. Oh the fun all those little kids had and perhaps that was the most enjoyable part of the trip for me; to see my kids race around with their cousins just like I used to do with mine. Love the memories they are making.
More installments to come.
