The Ocean

Run Mommy! What are we waiting for!?

The water is cold on my feet but the sand feels nice.

The ocean must of felt so massive to him. It does to me and I am five times taller than he is.

I like this place.

Sand feels good.

We took Evan to the ocean for the first time today. We have been waiting for a cooler, Fall day when the sun wouldn't be so strong. We also wanted him to be big enough that he could take it all in.

We carried Evan down the Montana stairway in the Ergo. He rode down on his Daddy's back. It had been so nice and chilly on Saturday. As we walked, I soon realized the heat had returned.

It was high Noon and as we pulled Evan out of the Ergo his excitement was all to apparent! He grabbed my hands and was saying "Oooooooo"...."Ooooooo" as he was running towards the water's edge. We reached the wet sand and he stopped to look at his feet. Then, he continued to race right towards the water. It was an amazing moment. He loves the ocean. He is so fascinated by it. I can't imagine how big it must seem to him!
