It Feels Like Home To Me

We made a quick trip to the Outer Banks this past weekend to visit my family and let Landon experience the ocean for the first time. Of course, our trip was way too short, but the weather was beautiful and we certainly enjoyed being at the beach. Although Lily loved the beach last year (she was too young to know better!), she did not like the sand this year - letting me know she was "dirty" as she accumulated sand all over herself. She kept her shoes on most of the time while she was digging and playing in the dry sand, but had a blast playing by the water and running up and down the beach with her Daddy. Landon, on the other hand, LOVED the sand. He ate it, rolled in it, crawled on it, walked on it, and got it absolutely everywhere possible. He especially loved the holes and tunnels his Daddy dug while on the beach. He was pretty occupied climbing in and out of the holes and shoveling sand. Being home reminded me of how lucky I was to grow up in such a beautiful place.
