♥The Beach
posted on Tuesday, June 19, 2007.
i remember when i was younger, when summer came we spent most of our time at the beach. We would make it an all day thing, mom would pack the cooler with drinks and things to make sandwiches, and pack brown paper bags with chips and cookies. We'd leave in the morning and not come back til night. I remember the breeze on the beach, the sun was so hot but the breeze cooled you down. I use to love listening to the sound of the waves while i lounged in a lounge chair. I grew up and stopped going to the beach so much, infact i hadnt been to the beach in about 3 years, until a couple days ago, i took vincent for the first time. I have to admitt i was excited. I wondered how he would react. Will he like the sea gulls flying above, what will he think of the wave crashing, or the warm sand between your toes and fingers. When we got to the beach the first thing i did was set him in the sand and sit down next to him pointing things out and telling him what they were, just so he could soak it all in. Feel the wind. See the waves. Look at the birds. It has to be amazing to see the beach through his little eyes.  We walked down to the water where the little tide pools were. Vincent could play in the water with out the waves sweeping him away.  I scooped up a small crab that was crawling by to show vincent, he had never seen a crab before and kept wanting to stick it in his mouth.   We played some more and vincent checked everything out, making sure he didnt miss anything. When it was time to go, i was already planning the next trip back to the beach.
I hope vincent liked the beach, and i hope he will always see it through baby eyes, instead of adult eyes that tend to forget what it was like to see the beach for the first time, and take such amazing things for granted.
