Salt Life

I never use to really like the beach...I know, I know, crazy right!?!? Who doesn't like the beach?? I don't know, there was just something about it that just didn't attract me. I repulsed the feeling of sand on me! I didn't enjoy the water, or more or less was scared of the water(watched Jaws too many times w/ my brothers). However, since becoming a mom it has totally redirected my feeling towards the beach. I might not be the biggest fan of having sand all up on me, covering me head to toe, but I am a fan of seeing His master pieces & getting a glimpse of just how big of a God He really is! As I sit by the ocean & listen to the waves crash, the salty, sweet, amazing, peculiar smell that the beach has, how can you not be in complete Awe over His mighty works? So now I can say I truly love the beach! I enjoy digging in the sand with my babies, I enjoy splashing in the water(that comes up only to my ankles hehe). I really find the beach simply relaxing. Yes, relaxing even with 5 kids! I love to watch my kids experience life. To see them get so excited & thrilled about things is just special to me! Its almost like I am experiencing it for the first time! It makes you appreciate things! Well here are a few shots I took from our trip to Hilton Head. Enjoy :)
