thank God for the beach!

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing and wonderful it is to be able to end each day with a walk down the beach. We don't get there every night, but we make it a point to go and walk at least a few times a week.  Especially when the day happens to be particularly stressful... like yesterday!

School's back in session, which means most tourists have gone home (yay!) and the beaches were empty besides a random fisherman here or there.

We let the kids loose, and Ryan sat and watched the two older ones.  I decided to shell and walk with Stella.  Let me tell you, there is NO better medicine than the beach! 

We are SO blessed to live by the beautiful ocean!  And I'm vowing to never live more than 15 miles away from it again! :)
